For operators
Surge plays
Same surge shapes platform and ecommerce leads already plan for. TideGuard is the open-source waiting room you deploy and pace yourself, without a managed waiting-room seat fee.
- Retail drops
When a SKU or sale goes live, demand arrives faster than checkout, inventory, or auth can absorb. TideGuard keeps the crowd in a fair line at the edge so the storefront only sees the admit rate you set.
- Ticket onsales
Onsales concentrate intentional demand into minutes. Fans refresh together; the ticketing stack cannot. TideGuard turns that spike into a fair corridor so inventory and payment only see admitted traffic.
- Viral launches
Not every surge is on the calendar. A link lands, a creator posts, or a product goes sideways-famous. TideGuard is ready when the crowd arrives before capacity planning catches up.
