Throttling requests in .NET Core web applications

Last year I worked on a team migrating a large application to ASP.NET Core from ASP.NET MVC 5. Among our goals we wanted to make the site use responsive layout, become “future-proofed” on a technology stack, and clean-up a bunch of legacy cruft. Our initial launch did not go smoothly and we reverted to the previous site to make changes. In the process we learned some “gotchas”.  Today I’m going to discuss one of those and how we addressed it. We’ll learn about throttling requests in .NET Core web applications.
