Jan 22, 2021Matthew Prince
Summary
This post introduces 'Project Fair Shot', a free offering of Cloudflare's new 'Waiting Room' service to government and medical organizations responsible for COVID-19 vaccine distribution. The Waiting Room service, previously in development for managing demand for scarce items, was rapidly deployed to prevent vaccine registration websites from crashing under high traffic loads. This demonstrates an extension of Cloudflare's traffic management capabilities to critical public services during times of high demand.
