NGINX limit_req tornado web problems

Server NGINX
#1

Hi all,

I’m trying to use the NGINX limit_req for my app APIs which has 1 NGINX

  • 4 app. server frontends.

My conf is like the following:

http{
…
limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=data_zone:10m rate=2r/s;

…

server{

…
location ^~ /data/new/ {
limit_req zone=data_zone burst=5 nodelay;
}
…

But it doesn’t work, in fact I’m able to call my API /data/new several
times per second with success…and it isn’t a good thing :slight_smile:
Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Best,

Antonio
