DropReady
Survive traffic spikes without your store crashing
DropReady is a virtual waiting room for stores that need to survive sudden traffic spikes - drops, launches, promotions. Without your server going down. Unlike Queue-it or Cloudflare Waiting Room, each client gets a dedicated, isolated instance - no shared multi-tenant infra, no CDN lock-in. Integration is a single PHP file (PrestaShop, WooCommerce, Magento, Laravel, anything PHP). Load-tested at 100% success, 500 req/s, ~123ms latency on a budget VPS.
Hey Product Hunt!
I'm Michał, a PrestaShop/Laravel developer based in Poznań, Poland. I built DropReady after watching stores go down during drops and flash promotions - the traffic isn't even that high in absolute terms, it just all arrives in the same 10 seconds.
Most waiting-room solutions are either enterprise-only (Cloudflare Enterprise, Queue-it) or tied to a specific platform/CDN. DropReady is neither: dedicated, isolated instance per client, integration is a single PHP file (PrestaShop, WooCommerce, Magento, Laravel, anything PHP), zero DevOps required on your side.
The approach evolved a lot through load testing - while preparing production numbers I actually found and fixed a real bug (the admission worker was silently dropping ticks under load). It's live now with our first client, and I load-tested it on the exact budget VPS it runs on: 100% success at 500 req/s, ~123ms latency.
Would love your feedback, especially from anyone who's had a drop go sideways because of a traffic spike.
