When combined with Go&rsquo;s performance characteristics and strong typing, it creates a powerful foundation for building efficient, maintainable, and type-safe APIs. This guide walks through the entire process of building a GraphQL API with Go, from basic setup to production-ready implementation.</p> <h2 id="why-combine-go-and-graphql">Why Combine Go and GraphQL?</h2> <p>Before diving into implementation details, let&rsquo;s understand why this combination is particularly effective:</p>https://support.tools/decentralized-request-throttling-for-distributed-api-gateways/Tue, 23 Dec 2025 09:00:00 -0500https://support.tools/decentralized-request-throttling-for-distributed-api-gateways/<p>Rate limiting is a critical aspect of API management, but implementing it in distributed environments presents unique challenges. This article explores a practical approach to decentralized request throttling that works efficiently across multiple API gateway instances without requiring per-request coordination.</p>
