Why
Problem
The FastAPI REST endpoints have no protection against misuse or accidental overload, risking denial‑of‑service for legitimate users, especially under heavy scheduling or batch operations.
Solution
Integrate a rate‑limiting middleware (e.g.,
slowapiorstarlette-rate-limit) that enforces configurable request quotas per authenticated user/IP. Provide defaults (e.g., 100 requests/minute) and allow admin override via config.Value
Prevents API abuse, ensures fair resource usage, and improves stability under load. Measurable by reduced 5xx error spikes during peak usage.
What changed
Implementation complete.
Closes #102
