‍

Hey Lunar.dev enthusiasts,

Another month, another orbit! Welcome to November’s updates—your quick guide to our latest features, upcoming launches, and valuable industry insights. 

Let’s dive in!

Even more granular controls for Quota Management

Our new Quota Management Flow is here to give you complete control over how services interact with third-party APIs. This feature helps you allocate and regulate API quotas with precision, ensuring efficient usage across your organization. By integrating Prioritized Queues and Client-Side Rate Limiting, this flow empowers you to:

• Assign quotas dynamically.
• Manage API traffic based on custom priorities.
• Use headers to tailor API call prioritization.

Take the driver’s seat with Client-Side Rate Limiting

‍

Why rely solely on your API provider’s rate limits? With Client-Side Rate Limiting, you can:

• Implement rate limits based on your business rules.
• Ensure quotas are enforced without risking overuse.
• Create tailored responses and manage segmented quotas dynamically.

From smarter traffic control to seamless integration stability, this flow is your go-to for efficient API consumption management. The flow supports scenarios like: custom responses, quota enforcement, quota segmentation and more. It also dynamically manages requests and provides appropriate responses when quotas are exceeded.
