Rate limiting in AWS beanstalk

Question

Hi,
I have a Java beanstalk, and I want to have 1 request per sec rate limiting on all of my end points. I am following https://www.nginx.com/blog/rate-limiting-nginx/ and I created a .platform/nginx/conf.d/proxy.conf with following content

```
client_max_body_size 10M;

http {
    limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=one:10m rate=1r/s;
    server {
        location / {
            limit_req zone=one;
            limit_req_dry_run on;
        }
    }
}

```
but rate limiting is not working. What is wrong?

The root location ("location /") is already defined by the existing file: 
```
/etc/nginx/conf.d/elasticbeanstalk/00_application.conf
```

To replace the root location you need to replace the entire nginx configuration using the file:
```
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
```

Have you considered using AWS WAF for the rate limiting it may meet your needs.
You can create rules that rate-limit traffic from specific user-agents, from specific IP addresses, or that contain particular request headers.
