A Denial of Service attack, or DoS, is when someone from outside your system tries to overload it by sending a large number of requests, often targeting public APIs. The goal is to stop real users from being able to access your service.
 This is where rate limiting becomes important. If your endpoints are open and don’t have any limits, attackers can keep hitting them again and again. You can also use tools to block traffic from certain IPs or regions if you start to see suspicious activity.
