How to configure nginx for heroku nodejs web application

Question

How does one configure nginx for a heroku nodejs web application? I would like to configure nginx such that an IP address is limited to N requests for a given time period. Like the classic "You're doing that too much" message as seen on Reddit.

Thanks,

Charles

Good starting point : heroku/heroku-buildpack-nginx

What you are looking for is rate-limiting with NGINX, read this for a better understanding

and here you have an example gist: NGINX reverse proxy with rate limiting

This is the file of the heroku-nginx-node-example that I think you have to add the limit_req options

If you need more help, show what you have tried so far and I will edit this answer.

Thank you so much! I knew to a degree the nginx config but was having trouble finding examples of it being implemented specifically for a heroku cluster
