does typesense have any rate limit mechanism for self hosted? is there any recommended implementation for that or are we expected to create a front facing api to middleman requests to typesense?

We plan to expose the rate limiting feature after more testing in the upcoming version of Typesense.

But in the meantime, I'd recommend adding Cloudflare in front of your Typesense hostnames and setup rate limiting there.
