Summary

When the demo site was hosted , it was Dosed multiple times by giving bogus code snippets which would crash the system by eating up system resources. This was done by bombarding the server with multiple consecutive code snippets which would then crash the system.

Requirement:

Devise a way to implement a rate limiting tool either through nginx or through flask itself in order to mitigate this issue. One can go through these for flask and for nginx.
