Queue-it
A virtual waiting room is a cloud-based solution for websites and applications to manage online traffic surges. When traffic exceeds a site or app's capacity, traffic is redirected to a virtual waiting room using a HTTP 302 redirect, then returned back to the website in a fair, controlled order.

We train everyone involved in delivering our products around assistive technology and Accessibility best practices. This includes, UX designers, engineers, and product managers. We test our products before release using both manual and automated techniques. Conducting regular research with agents, admins and end users who rely on assistive technology to collect feedback and help us prioritize improvements. Systematically tracking both remediation and new feature progress to drive quality improvements. Finally, we listen to feedback from customers.
- API
- Yes
- What users can and can't do using the API
-
Queue-it offers a REST-based API. The API must be accessed through the customer specific endpoint and is authenticated through API key. HTTPS is required.
Capabilities: API key management, Change logs, Integration rules and configuration, Invite-only lists, Secure link sharing, Waiting room creation and management, Alias, Dynamic information, Waiting Room Statistics, Waiting room search and listing, bulk operations.
Full documentation of the API endpoints can be found here: https://api2.queue-it.net/.
The API endpoint is not scaled to end-user volumes. If data from the API is supposed to be used for end-user functionalities, then access should be created via a server-side service with a cache (e.g. with 15 second flush time). If traffic is excessive, it may be throttled automatically. - API documentation

- Customisation available
- Yes
- Description of customisation
- Our service is fully customisable to fit the needs of our clients. The placement of the queue page can be customised, so it is only protecting a specific part of your infrastructure where bottlenecks occur. The design and features of our queue page can be customised based on the needs of the client: to show the expected wait time, number of citizens in line in front of you, send email alert, invite-only queue and more. Our experienced team is ready to support you to meet your needs and requirements.
Scaling
- Independence of resources
- The Queue-it system is designed with auto-scaling and fault tolerance in mind. Under sustained load, components scale automatically, and any malfunctioning servers are removed from the load balancers. Customers are hosted in logical segments under unique hostnames, ensuring their workloads remain isolated. We can also move individual customers from one segment to another as part of disaster-recovery procedures or proactively when an account needs isolation.
Analytics
- Service usage metrics
- Yes
- Metrics types
- We provide the metrics about the traffic passing through customers' waiting rooms (e.g. Inflow, Number of visitors currently waiting, Expected wait time, bot and datacenter traffic, etc.) that allows our customers to assess their usage of our service. In addition to this, we have diagnostics metrics that help customers detect issues in the service setup or website performance.

Identity and authentication
- User authentication needed
- No
- Access restrictions in management interfaces and support channels
- Access to the management interface is role-based. Each user has a single role—Read Only, User, Administrator, or Owner—with permissions strictly limited to that role. Only Administrators and Owners can manage users, and at least one Owner must always exist. Accounts use unique IDs and email addresses, and MFA can be enforced at the account or individual level. User Groups can be created to manage notification access. Support channels follow the same access model: only authorized users can request changes, and Owners or Administrators must approve sensitive actions such as MFA resets or user modifications.
- Access restriction testing frequency
- At least every 6 months
- Management access authentication
-
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
- Identity federation with existing provider (for example Google Apps)

Different services are deployed to production on a daily basis, using automated Canary deployments. To minimize the risk, the deployment is done in a stepwise process.
We have a test/ production environment, and the whole process starts with a code review and approval process.
Then, it’s deployed to EU Partition A, but only for availability zone A. When it’s observed that no alarms are triggered and no issues are seen, then it’s deployed to EU Partition A availability zone B. If all is still good, then it’s deployed as to additional segments.
We also have thorough functional tests. - Vulnerability management type
