Configure rate limits for AI traffic on AgentCore gateway
AgentCore now lets you rate-limit agent traffic by user and target — essential ops for production deployments at scale.
Why it matters
Agent infrastructure maturation: AWS is shipping production-grade traffic controls (per-user limits, token quotas, connection throttling) that teams need to safely scale agents in shared environments. This is the operational plumbing that moves agents from pilot to multi-tenant production.
