Deploying application layer security in production can feel risky. Blocking rules, rate limits, and bot protections directly change how your system handles traffic and a misconfigured threshold does not just log an error, it can prevent rea
You added in-code protection. Requests are being evaluated, and some are being blocked. That is good. But the real question is whether your app is actually better off because of it. Security metrics often drift into vanity territory. Block
