Rate limiting connection traffic
This page describes how Integration Connectors rate limits (controls) the incoming requests to your connection, and the various options available to you to address the rate limit conditions that may occur in your connection.
Integration Connectors intelligently manages a connection's traffic by throttling (smoothening traffic spikes) requests from a connection. So, suppose there is an increase in a connection's traffic; Integration Connectors automatically increases the number of nodes assigned to the connection, and conversely, if there is a drop in a connection's traffic, Integration Connectors automatically decreases the number of nodes assigned to the connection. This node autoscaling ensures that a connection's node allocation is always optimal.
However, in some scenarios, it is possible that a connection uses all its available nodes
and still requires additional nodes. In such a scenario, where a connection exceeds
its throttling limits, Integration Connectors returns the HTTP 429
response.
Your options for rate limiting a connection vary based on your user type (pay-as-you-go or subscription) as described in the following sections.
Rate limiting for pay-as-you-go users
HTTP 429
response for your connection?- There is a sudden spike in the connection's traffic which the existing nodes can't handle, and hence you are temporarily getting this error. In this case, increase the number of minimum nodes for the connection in the Edit connection page .
- The maximum permissible node limit isn't fully utilized by the connection. In this case, increase the maximum nodes in the Edit connection page .
- The maximum node limit is fully utilized by the connection. In this case, contact Integration Connectors support .
