What is AWS Virtual Waiting Room?

This strategy effectively handles the surge of user requests to your website during busy traffic times. It creates a cloud-based infrastructure that reroutes incoming traffic temporarily while providing options to customize the addition of a virtual waiting room. This waiting area acts as a buffer for visitors, permitting them to wait until there's enough space for them to access the site. Instances that may prompt its activation include the release of concert or sporting event tickets, flash sales such as Black Friday, significant product launches with extensive promotional campaigns, online classes and testing sessions, the availability of medical appointments, or the rollout of a new service that requires user registration and payment. Upon entering the waiting room, users are assigned a queue number to secure their position, and they can only exit to visit the website when it is their turn. This mechanism not only improves user satisfaction by minimizing delays but also plays a crucial role in preserving website performance during high-demand periods, ultimately benefiting both users and site administrators alike.
