Signs of a DDoS attack include sudden traffic spikes, slow response times, and service unavailability.
Mitigation steps:

  • CDN and Load Balancing: Use services like Cloudflare or AWS CloudFront to distribute traffic.
  • Rate Limiting: Implement rate limits to block excessive requests.
  • Traffic Filtering: Use WAFs (Web Application Firewalls) to filter malicious requests.
  • Scalable Infrastructure: Use cloud-based solutions that can handle large traffic spikes.
