How to scale restful api with load balancing while keeping quota limits

So I want to offer an API as as service, you pay x/month for 1000 queries per day as an example. If I have a master database, with two replicas, and multiple api servers, how do I make sure that a customer gets 1000 queries per day and no more? Would sticky sessions based on a header containing their api key be the best option?



Every query needs to be logged, eventually making it to every database. And the total quota of the day usage needs to be accurate.

  • In every authenticated call along with the query to the db you send also an update to the profile of the user increasing the daily counter. Every night a procedure will reset all the users counters. No need for sticky sessions.
