I think not enforcing any rate limiting could lead to high usage and impact application performance.

That might be true, but having it on the server side adds an extra layer of protection.

But wouldn't enforcing rate limiting on the client side only be enough to reduce response latency?

I agree, it helps to control the flow of API calls and protect the application.

I think implementing rate limiting on both client and server sides is the best practice.

I believe option B is the most secure approach, covering both client and server sides.

I agree with Tammara, server-side rate limiting can prevent excessive use and reduce latency.

I'm with Beckie on this one. B is the way to go. Gotta protect that application from getting hammered, but also keep those response times snappy. Can't have one without the other, you know?

Haha, C is just begging for some serious performance issues, don't you think? I mean, who in their right mind would choose to not enforce any rate limiting at all? That's just asking for trouble.

You know, I was initially thinking D - server-side rate limiting only. But then I realized that could lead to a lot of wasted client-side resources if the requests are getting throttled. B makes a lot more sense to me.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm definitely leaning towards B - implementing rate limiting on both the client and server sides. That way, we can protect the application from excessive use and also ensure low response latency.
