Hej,
I have experienced a flood of request in the Nuxt Application at Work and need some help/input on what the issue might be, where to investigate further.
The situation
The company I work for, has an Nuxt Application (Nuxt v. 3.13.2), which uses an reverse Proxy to communicate with some Backend Services. In the end of January, we experienced a situation, where a Backend Service recevied 170 times the same POST Request in 7 ms. 32 Requests were answered with 200 and the 138 with 500 (is a valid error and has been fixed). Here is a diagram which suppose to help to understand the setup.
Due to the logging Middleware, I see that those 170 Request passed the Nitro Server.
Questions
Is it possible, that the Nuxt Application resends the Request due to the 500 Response at some point?
Might it be possible, that the Nitro Server causes the requests?
Can I add logging in Nuxt, to see, if the Requests are coming from the Client?
