What is the `throttle` middleware in Laravel?

Answer: The `throttle` middleware in Laravel is used to limit the number of requests that a user can make to a specific route or group of routes within a given time period. It helps prevent abuse and overloading of the application by controlling the traffic to certain endpoints. When a user exceeds the defined request limit, they receive a 429 Too Many Requests response. This middleware is typically configured using the `RateLimiter` class in Laravel.
