Rate limiting

flexcal can rate-limit requests with Unkey. This is optional: without it, the instance runs normally, just without rate limiting.

  1. Sign up at unkey.com.

  2. Create a root key with the ratelimit.create_namespace and ratelimit.limit permissions.

  3. Add it to .env:

    UNKEY_ROOT_KEY=<root_key>

If you run flexcal behind your own reverse proxy, rate limiting at that layer is a reasonable alternative and keeps the dependency out of the application.
