Zuplo provides automatic DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) protection for all APIs deployed on the platform. This service detects and mitigates attacks in real-time, ensuring your APIs remain available even under attack.
No configuration required - protection is active immediately upon deployment.
Key Features
- Always-on protection against both network (Layer 3/4) and application (Layer 7) attacks
- Multi-layered defense covering UDP floods, SYN floods, HTTP floods, and slowloris attacks
- Smart detection with minimal false positives to keep legitimate traffic flowing
- Unmetered protection with no bandwidth limits during attacks
- Cost protection - blocked malicious requests don't count toward your usage limits
Protection Levels
- Working Copy environments: Medium sensitivity by default
- Preview/Production environments: Medium sensitivity with Enterprise customization options
- Enterprise add-on: Four sensitivity levels (High, Medium, Low, Essentially Off) with advanced analytics and custom rule configuration
How It Works
The system analyzes traffic patterns in real-time, examining request rates, IP reputation, geographic distribution, and behavioral anomalies. When attacks are detected, malicious traffic is automatically filtered at the edge before reaching your API.
Note: This feature is available for managed edge deployments. Customers using managed dedicated deployments should refer to the Managed Dedicated WAF Options documentation.
