I have a website deployed on Netlify. Recently, it seems that someone has gotten the idea to scrape the website and constantly submit bogus form data.
I have solved the problem with the form as needed. I am curious if there is a good way to stop spam. For reference, here is a snippet of my logs, all within a second:

I want to mitigate this somehow but haven’t been able to determine what the best way to go about this is in Netlify. My domain is registered with Netlify.
