This document shows how to apply a rate limiting policy in Mulesoft API Gateway using Anypoint Platform for APIs. It involves logging into the API Manager, clicking the "Policies" tab, finding the "Rate Limiting" policy, applying it and setting the limit to 10 requests per second. Tests are then run using SOAPUI load tester with and without the policy - without the policy all requests are accepted, but with the policy in place, requests over the limit receive 429 error responses. Rate limiting controls traffic by enforcing a maximum number of requests that can be sent within a time period.
