Overview
CrowdHandler is an enterprise-grade virtual waiting room solution that protects AWS-hosted websites and applications from traffic overload during high-demand events such as ticket sales, product launches, flash sales, and limited-edition drops.
By integrating directly with Amazon CloudFront using Lambda@Edge, CrowdHandler manages user access at the edge of AWS's global network, preventing server crashes and ensuring your infrastructure never becomes overwhelmed. This lightweight integration adds only 20 milliseconds to page load times while offloading queued users entirely from your origin servers, reducing AWS compute costs and maintaining optimal performance.
The platform features intelligent rate limiting, one-in-one-out capacity controls, customizable branded waiting rooms with countdown timers, real-time queue position updates, and automated throughput optimization through AutoTune technology. Advanced capabilities include bot detection, device fingerprinting, priority access codes for VIP customers, real-time inventory synchronization to prevent overselling, and CAPTCHA integration for enhanced security.
Trusted by entertainment brands, sports teams, Fortune 500 companies, government institutions, and e-commerce retailers worldwide, CrowdHandler ensures fair access during peak demand while maximizing revenue and protecting your brand reputation. Deploy to CloudFront in hours using CloudFormation templates, with no changes required to your application code or web servers.
