# Rate limit your Kubernetes applications with Codefresh and Traefik
[Rate Limiting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_limiting) is a technique for controlling the rate of requests to your application.
It can save you from denial of service attacks or resource starvation problems.
[Traefik](https://traefik.io/) is a proxy that supports rate limiting out of the box
and can also work as a Kubernetes ingress.
## How to build and run the application container
Run
```
cd simple-web-app
docker build . -t my-app
docker run -p 8080:8080 my-app
```
then visit http://localhost:8080 in your browser
You can find prebuilt images at [https://hub.docker.com/r/kostiscodefresh/traefik-demo-app](https://hub.docker.com/r/kostiscodefresh/traefik-demo-app)
## Deploying to Kubernetes with Codefresh
There is a Codefresh pipeline for 2 environments (QA and Prod)
that you can use at [codefresh.yml](codefresh.yml)
## Deploying with rate limits
First install traefik in your cluster
```
helm repo add traefik https://helm.traefik.io/traefik
kubectl create ns traefik
helm install --namespace=traefik traefik traefik/traefik
```
Create the two namespaces
```
kubectl create ns qa
kubectl create ns prod
```
Deploy using Codefresh or manually with
```
kubectl apply -f manifests-qa/* -n qa
kubectl apply -f manifests-prod/* -n prod
```
## Test rate limiting
You can use several testing tools such as
* [ab](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/programs/ab.html)
* [siege](https://github.com/JoeDog/siege)
* [hey](https://github.com/rakyll/hey)
* [fortio](https://github.com/fortio/fortio)
Example with siege
```
siege -c 10 -r 20 http://kostis-eu.sales-dev.codefresh.io/prod
siege -c 10 -r 20 http://kostis-eu.sales-dev.codefresh.io/qa
```
In the second run you should see responses with HTTP code 429 (too many requests).
