API Security & Performance for Gaming
summary
Cloudflare reports it proxies about 20 percent of proxied internet traffic and sees APIs as 54 percent of requests with ~20 percent growth over 10 months, so protect them with a four‑step funnel: absorb DDoS at a global network of ~250 data centers, map endpoints with API discovery, validate requests using a positive security model (OpenAPI/schema) and deploy auth like mutual TLS plus rate controls that count per session id or user rather than IP to stop botnets and stale API versions.
