What is throttling and how to implement it in Laravel?

Throttling is a process that limits the number of requests a user can make in a given amount of time. This is often used as a security measure to protect against brute force attacks and other malicious activities. In Laravel, throttling can be implemented by using the ThrottleRequests middleware. This middleware will limit the number of requests per minute a single user can make. It can be added to routes by using the throttle keyword in the route definition. For example, the following route would limit the number of requests to 10 per minute:

Route::middleware('throttle:10,1')->get('/', function () {

   //

});
