Use Cases
See how AAM and Akamai work together across real-world scenarios.
Block Bot Scores When Ingress Rate Spikes
See how AAM can automatically block requests based on Akamai bot scores when ingress rate spikes — protecting your APIs from bot-driven traffic surges.
Rate Limit by Akamai Bot Score
Learn how you can use AAM to rate limit based on the Akamai bot score — rate control higher bot scores more aggressively and optimize the rate control key to improve your security posture.
Rate Limit Based on GraphQL Operation
Learn how to rate limit individual GraphQL operations at the API gateway layer using AAM. Parse the GraphQL POST body to match on specific operation names and apply different rate limit thresholds per operation.
Add Path to the Rate Limit Key
Thanks to AAM's programmability, adding the request path to the rate limit key is just one more powerful option for building a layered security strategy.
