Tired of overpaying or over-engineering rate limiting?

Most tools are either enterprise-priced nightmares (Zuplo, Cloudflare Advanced) or weekends lost to Redis + custom code that breaks under real traffic.

RateGuard was built for you.

  • • Zero infrastructure — just one reverse proxy line
  • • Real-time streaming analytics (watch usage live)
  • • Beautiful, developer-first dashboard
  • • Blazing fast (Rust + gRPC) and ridiculously cheap
