GraphQL Rate Limiting Advanced

Kong Gateway 3.9.x

• Fixed an issue where the plugin could fail to authenticate to Redis correctly with Vault-referenced Redis configuration.

Kong Gateway 3.8.x

• Added the Redis config.redis.cluster_max_redirections configuration option.

Kong Gateway 3.5.x

• Fixed an issue where any plugins using the rate-limiting library, when used together, would interfere with each other and fail to synchronize counter data to the central data store.

Kong Gateway 3.4.x

• The config.host field of this plugin now accepts Kong Gateway Upstream targets.
• The schema validation has been updated so that Redis cluster mode is now supported.

Kong Gateway 3.3.x

• The Redis strategy now catches strategy connection failures.

Kong Gateway 3.2.x

• In hybrid and DB-less modes, this plugin now supports sync_rate = -1 with any strategy, including the default cluster strategy.

Kong Gateway 2.8.x

• Added Redis ACL support (Redis v6.0.0+ and Redis Sentinel v6.2.0+).
• Added the config.redis.username and config.redis.sentinel_username configuration parameters.
• The config.redis.username, config.redis.password, config.redis.sentinel_username, and config.redis.sentinel_password configuration fields are now marked as referenceable, which means they can be securely stored as secrets in a Vault. References must follow a specific format.
• Fixed plugin versions in the documentation. Previously, the plugin versions were labelled as 1.3-x and 2.3.x. They are now updated to align with the plugin’s actual versions, 0.1.x and 0.2.x.
• The plugin now returns a 500 error when using the cluster strategy in hybrid or DB-less modes instead of crashing.
• Fixed deserialize_parse_tree logic when building GraphQL AST with non-nullable or list types.

Kong Gateway 2.5.x

• Added the config.redis.keepalive_pool, config.redis.keepalive_pool_size, and config.redis.keepalive_backlog configuration parameters. These options relate to Openresty’s Lua INGINX module’s tcp:connect options.

Kong Gateway 2.2.x

• Added Redis TLS support with the config.redis.ssl, config.redis.ssl_verify, and config.redis.server_name configuration parameters.
