So far we've been using rate limit rule for a single host - 300 requests per 5 minutes for foo.dev.com (entry resolves to ALB)

Now we want to split a bit more the rule so that we have different rules for different hostnames (all resolving same ALB) so that we achieve for example:

  • aaa-foo.dev.com - 100 requests per 5 minutes
  • bbb-foo.dev.com - 200 requests per 5 minutes

aaa and bbb will be different clients that our app will serve

Please help out with some hints !

Here is how I managed to solve this, used ByteMatchStatement comparing if the host header STARTS_WITH '{clientname}', hope it helps someone:
