A virtual waiting room is a cloud-based service for businesses to control surges in online traffic to their websites or mobile apps. In high-demand situations—like sneaker releases, ticket onsales, or government registrations—customers are redirected to a waiting room and then throttled back to the website or app at a controlled rate. The virtual waiting room keeps visitors informed with information on wait times and number of people ahead in the virtual line.
