Scraping, repeated login attempts and HTTP request floods can consume capacity intended for customers. Vorpcel combines bot assessment, challenges and rate controls at the edge to help teams manage abusive traffic before it reaches the application origin.
Search crawlers, monitoring services and customer integrations may need automated access. Use bot policies and route-level limits to distinguish expected activity from traffic that warrants a challenge, restriction or investigation, then review the effect on your applications.
Bot assessment uses client, network and traffic characteristics beyond the declared user agent. Combine those signals with verified-bot handling and application policies to choose how different classes of traffic are treated.
Select bot detection capabilities for your application and use client and traffic signals to assess automation.
Configure request limits for sensitive paths and review traffic evidence to calibrate thresholds.
Use the configured allow, challenge and block actions to manage suspicious HTTP traffic upstream of your application.
Unmanaged automation consumes infrastructure capacity and distorts business metrics.
Evaluate bot policies and rate limits against your application's traffic patterns.
