Set Limit on Backend Invocations

WSO2 API Cloud allows you to define the subscription tiers available to each subscriber. But what if there is the overall limit you want to set across all users so that your backend is always protected from excessive traffic? With the Hard Throttling Limit that we have just introduced, this is as easy as just selecting the Enable Hard Throttling Limits checkbox on the third step of API creation/editing ("Manage"):

The limits are in transactions per second (TPS) and can be set separately for production and sandbox backends.
