Throttling is similar to [permissions], in that it determines if a request should be authorized. Throttles indicate a temporary state, and are used to control the rate of requests that clients can make to an API.
As with permissions, multiple throttles may be used. Your API might have a restrictive throttle for unauthenticated requests, and a less restrictive throttle for authenticated requests.

The default value of `LocMemCache` backend should be okay for simple setups. See Django's [cache documentation][cache-docs] for more details.
