Episode 49 of The Developer Tools Podcast tackles a common API design mistake: applying the same rate limit to every user. Lucas and Luna walk through a real-world example from a fictional SaaS analytics platform, showing how flat rate limits punish power users and leave revenue on the table. They discuss tiered rate limiting, burst allowances, and how to align API quotas with customer value. If you build or manage APIs, this episode will change how you think about throttling. #API #RateLimiting #DeveloperTools #SaaS #APIDesign #Scalability #Backend #Engineering #TechPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Infrastructure #APIManagement #DevTools #CustomerExperience #Pricing #Throttling #PowerUsers Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
