Summary

Rately is a new API rate limiting service that addresses the challenge of implementing custom rate limits based on parameters like user ID, API key, or custom fields. Built on Cloudflare infrastructure, it offers fast performance with ~25ms latency and easy drop-in integration for developers. The service aims to simplify rate limiting implementation without requiring complex custom code or facing performance issues.

The idea came from a very specific pain: it was surprisingly hard to build custom rate limiting — like 'limit by user ID, API key, or some custom field' — without hacking together a ton of messy code or running into performance issues.
So we built Rately to make that part simple: Define limits on any parameter you need (user ID, API key, etc.)
Built on Cloudflare → fast (~25ms latency)
Easy drop-in integration
