SOLVED Protection from DoS?

[Mody Ibrahim]

Hello,
First of all, great product! It's definitely what I needed for my project.

I've seen mentions of protection against DoS and DDoS attacks through your product, but I'm not sure if that's built in? I use Firebase for some features currently and it'd be a big issue for my billing if someone launched a DoS attack and flooded my cloud functions there (some of which I call through your backend for security).

Any resources on the topic or the steps I should take? Is it implemented in the platform at a low level?

Trying to know what happens if someone tried to flood my Cloud Backend API requests without testing it for myself.

Hey @mody-ibrahim, a DDOS attack will deplete your API quota and then your API will be rate limited

I suggest you setup Cloudflare on your domain to add an additional layer of protection and configurable rules.

We have a guide here about how to do that: https://support.appdrag.com/doc/Use-CloudFlare-and-Activate-SSL

@jbenguira Thank you very much! I'll do that then.
