About AWS Virtual Waiting Room
This solution helps buffer incoming user requests to your website during large bursts of traffic. It creates a cloud infrastructure designed to temporarily offload incoming traffic to your website, and it provides options to customize and integrate a virtual waiting room. The waiting room acts as a holding area for visitors to your website and allows traffic to pass through when there is enough capacity. Start of sale for concert or sporting event tickets. Fire sale or another large retail sale, such as Black Friday. New product launch with broad marketing announcements. Exam access and class attendance for online testing and lessons. Release of medical appointment slots. Launch of a new direct-to-customer service that requires account creation and payments. Users are assigned a queue number when they enter the waiting room. They maintain their position in the queue and only leave the waiting room to enter the target site when it’s their turn.
