Implement Rate Limiting to Prevent Potential DoS Attacks #5
Description
In order to safeguard ServerQuery against potential Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks, we need to implement rate limiting on all POST requests. Rate limiting will ensure that our server doesn't get overwhelmed by a large number of requests within a short timeframe, preserving the reliability and availability of our service.
We are currently considering using the express-rate-limit package for this task, but we are open to other suggestions.
