name: upstash-ratelimit-ts description: Lightweight guidance for using the Redis Rate Limit TypeScript SDK, including setup steps, basic usage, and pointers to advanced algorithm, features, pricing, and traffic‑protection docs.

Rate Limit TS SDK

Quick Start

• Install the SDK and connect to Redis.
• Create a rate limiter and apply it to incoming operations.

Example:

import { Ratelimit } from "@upstash/ratelimit";
import { Redis } from "@upstash/redis";

const redis = new Redis({ url: "<url>", token: "<token>" });
const limiter = new Ratelimit({ redis, limiter: Ratelimit.slidingWindow(5, "10s") });

const { success } = await limiter.limit("user-id");
if (!success) {
  // throttled
}
