Arcjet Astro example app

Arcjet helps developers protect their apps in just a few lines of code. Bot detection. Rate limiting. Email validation. Attack protection. Data redaction. A developer-first approach to security.

This is an example Astro application demonstrating the use of multiple features.

Features

• Signup form protection uses Arcjet's server-side email verification configured to block disposable providers and ensure that the domain has a valid MX record. It also includes rate limiting and bot protection to prevent automated abuse.
• Bot protection shows how a page can be protected from automated clients.
• Rate limiting shows the use of different rate limit configurations depending on the authenticated user. A logged-in user can make more requests than an anonymous user.
• Attack protection demonstrates Arcjet Shield, which detects suspicious behavior, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting attacks.
• Sensitive info protects against clients sending you sensitive information such as PII that you do not wish to handle.
