Thoughts On The AWS Virtual Waiting Room Solution
If you’re building a ticketing or registration system, you’ll probably want to queue users in order to make sure that you’re processing them in an orderly manner. This pattern can also come into play for retail systems when there’s a big sale or event.
As much as we’d all like to avoid implementing this pattern, a queue or virtual waiting room is way better than users getting errors as your system tries to process all of the transactions.
This pattern is also useful when you have a specific date and time you’re launching something. You know that users are going to show up early. Instead of refreshing, this pattern helps them queue.
AWS has wrapped up a nice solution for this pattern in their “AWS Virtual Waiting Room Solution.” My thoughts and more details in this Twitter thread ๐.

I โค๏ธ that @awscloud is providing more concrete examples of what you can build
…but, the number of services & complexity of these solutions is only increasing

this pattern needs to be extrememly resilient becuase it’s protecting another solution & users are going to be using it in a time of stress/high anxiety
