Rate Limiting

ART Cache-Resident Rate Limiting Available for CPU and GPU

Up to 95% reduction in rate-limiting
infrastructure overhead.

The Legacy Trap

Every rate limiter you know was designed for CPUs that can't keep up. You've been told to accept the trade-offs. Here's why that's wrong.

The Legacy Trap

"Just add more Redis nodes"

Cost scales linearly with traffic. By 1B requests/month, you're paying $280k/year just to say "yes" or "no."

"20ms latency is acceptable"

Your entire API response takes 50ms. Rate limiting adds 40% overhead. Users feel the lag. Engineers shrug.

"Use cloud WAF, let them scale it"

Vendor lock-in. Data leaves your network. Pricing tiers force you to overpay. You lose control.

"Eventual consistency is fine"

Fintech rejects this. Trading systems reject this. You're told to trust probabilistic filters that guess wrong 1% of the time.

"Sharding is the only way"

More nodes = more network hops = more latency. Your "distributed" system is a distributed mess.

Result: Infrastructure that costs more than the problem it solves.

THE NEW STANDARD

Linespeed Standard

One instance replaces your cluster

50M+ ops/sec on CPU, 100M+ on GPU. No sharding. No replication. No cluster coordination hell.

Microsecond decisions

2,000x faster than Redis. Cache-resident architecture on CPU (L2/L3) or GPU (HBM).

Deploy in your VPC

Data stays in your network. Air-gapped deployment for compliance. No vendor can cut you off or raise prices.

99.99% accuracy guarantee

Strict mode with 0.0001% false positive rate. Fintech-grade precision. Mathematical proof included.

Cache-resident = instant lookup

Entire decision state fits in cache. Parallel processing across cores or SMs. No network. No serialization.

Result: Rate limiting faster than your network latency.

You've been conditioned to accept slow, expensive, eventually-consistent rate limiting because distributed systems add unavoidable overhead.

Cache-resident architecture eliminates it. That changes everything.

Cache-Resident Rate Limiting

ART fits the entire decision framework in cache—L2/L3 on CPU, HBM on GPU. Binary comparison at cache speeds turns a cluster problem into a single-instance solution.

One instance handles what previously required dozens of Redis nodes. Microsecond decisions. Linear scaling. Deploy in your VPC—your data never leaves your infrastructure.

Choose Your Platform

Same algorithm. Same API. Different hardware targets. Pick the version that fits your infrastructure.

ART CPU

L2/L3 Cache-Resident

Runs on standard cloud instances (no GPU required)
50M+ ops/sec on multi-core CPUs
Sub-10μs latency via L2/L3 cache
Lower infrastructure cost

Best for: Teams without GPU infrastructure, or when rate limiting runs on separate nodes from GPU workloads.

ART GPU

HBM-Resident

Runs on NVIDIA GPUs (CUDA 12+)
100M+ ops/sec on modern GPUs
Sub-1μs latency via HBM
Zero CPU-GPU data transfer

Best for: All-GPU pipelines where rate limiting runs on the same GPU as inference. Eliminates PCIe round-trips.

Both versions share the same API and configuration. Switch platforms without code changes.

Core Capabilities

Microsecond Latency

Rate decisions in single-digit microseconds. L2/L3 cache-resident architecture eliminates RAM access overhead.

Massive Throughput

Handle traffic spikes without degradation. Multi-core CPU scaling delivers 50M+ ops/sec on standard instances.

Your Infrastructure

Deploy in your VPC. Data never leaves your network. Full control over your rate-limiting logic.

Flexible Algorithms

Token bucket, sliding window, custom rules. Configure the algorithm that fits your use case.

How It Works

Three stages. Cache-resident AMQ lookups. Binary compare at CPU speeds.

Ingest

Requests arrive and are instantly batched. No queuing. No waiting. Optimized for throughput from the first byte.

Process

CPU cores evaluate thousands of requests in parallel. L2/L3 cache lookups. Binary compare decision-making at nanosecond speeds.

Decide

Allow, deny, or throttle—returned in microseconds. Your services stay protected. Your users stay unblocked.

Built For Scale

API Rate Limiting

Protect SaaS APIs from abuse without adding latency. Handle millions of decisions per second.

LLM API Throttling

Fair-use enforcement for token-expensive AI endpoints. Prevent runaway costs from abusive clients.

Trading System Controls

Microsecond-precision throttling for order flow. Protect against flash crashes and runaway algorithms.

DDoS Mitigation

Handle traffic floods without service degradation. CPU parallelism absorbs attack volume.

Not 10% faster. 10x faster.

Measured performance at 1B requests/month scale. Your current solution is the benchmark.

Solution Ops/Sec P99 Latency Annual Cost* Scalability
