Ditto Relay has no rate limiting. It's survived this way for 6 months handling all the traffic people can possibly throw at it. Finally it has started to struggle doing everything on Bun's single thread. Now I rearchitected it to distribute load across Web Workers. See, JavaScript can be multithreaded! I avoided rewriting it in Rust. Let's take this to the limit of my machine before I'm forced to add any sort of rate limiting.
