Flow Control is an automated API traffic management platform built to protect, optimise, and intelligently govern the flow of data between applications. Designed for modern cloud architectures, it provides real-time visibility and control over API usage, ensuring stability, performance, and security at scale.

At its core, Flow Control acts as a smart intermediary — analysing every request that passes through your system, automatically throttling or blocking abusive traffic, and dynamically adapting to changing usage patterns. By combining intelligent automation with deep integration into Cloudflare’s global network, it delivers enterprise-grade resilience with minimal configuration or maintenance.

The platform continuously learns from live traffic, detecting anomalies, bursts, and suspicious behaviour before they impact reliability. Administrators can define custom rate limits, prioritise trusted sources, and set policy rules that apply instantly across distributed environments. This ensures that mission-critical APIs remain responsive, even under heavy or unpredictable loads.

Flow Control is designed not only as a protective layer, but as an optimisation engine — reducing infrastructure costs, improving latency, and enhancing user experience through smarter request routing and adaptive throttling. It embodies Driscoll Ltd’s philosophy of automation, intelligence, and elegant engineering: technology that quietly does its job so your systems can perform at their best.
