So, y'all know lots more than me about this. But how's this work?
How do servers get "overwhelmed" during busy times? Like when the reservealbertaparks website was horrific yesterday for camping reservations. Apparently they made 8000 reservations in one day, and that's like 10x more than the normal opening day volume.
But, like, what actually does that mean? What can be done? Does having cloud servers help? What are best practices for site like this that have wildly variable demand.
ELI5, Coles, FAQ, lmfao and whatever else.
Wut?
