Description
A virtual waiting room is a page that keeps visitors away from busy websites and then feeds them back to the protected site at a pace it can handle, while maintaining responsiveness and performance.
Websites can handle sudden or unexpected peaks in traffic without a website crash. It also means that websites don't have to waste energy on additional servers when they are not busy. This makes it green tech, if implemented correctly.
Fair virtual waiting rooms return visitors in first-come first-served fashion. A good virtual waiting area should keep visitors informed about their progress and the remaining wait time.
A crashed website is the worst thing for your business. High-demand sales not only damage your servers but also damage your reputation. Smooth branding can help you protect your customers' goodwill.
Our original patented virtual waiting room technology allows you to show your customers that fairness is important while providing a fully branded customer journey.
Description
Waiting is a compact library designed to facilitate the process of waiting for specific conditions to be met. It fundamentally pauses execution until a designated function returns True, offering various operational modes. Additionally, Waiting is designed to work seamlessly with flux for simulating timelines. The simplest way to utilize it is by providing a function to monitor. It’s straightforward to wait indefinitely; if your predicate yields a value, that value will be returned as the output of wait(). You can also set a timeout, and if this period lapses without the predicate being satisfied, an exception will occur. The library polls the predicate at a default interval of one second, which can be adjusted using the sleep_seconds parameter. When dealing with multiple predicates, Waiting offers two efficient methods for aggregation: any and all. These methods are similar to Python's built-in any() and all(), but they ensure that a predicate is not invoked more than necessary, which is particularly beneficial when working with predicates that are resource-intensive and time-consuming. By streamlining these functions, Waiting enhances both the efficiency and user experience of handling asynchronous operations.
