"Hey fellow devs, let's talk about scaling and securing our APIs in 2023. I've been noticing a lot of HTTP gateway setups out there struggling to keep up with traffic, and it seems like some common practices are being overlooked. What are your go-to strategies for handling high loads and protecting against common web attacks?"

"Dude, I'm all about implementing load balancing and using a WAF (Web Application Firewall) to protect against common attacks. For scaling, I've had success with a combination of autoscaling and containerization using Kubernetes. Has anyone else found any other game-changers for their HTTP gateways?"
"Yup, agree on the importance of rate limiting for scalability, but don't forget about caching too. Proper caching can really help mitigate some of that load, just make sure to implement it correctly to avoid data inconsistencies. Has anyone else experimented with in-memory caching?"
"Yo, thanks for sharing these best practices on HTTP gateway security. One thing that's really hit me recently is the importance of implementing rate limiting and IP blocking to prevent brute-force attacks on my APIs. Anyone else have any experience with fail2ban?"
