DYNAMIC TRAFFIC THROTTLING

Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products for dynamic traffic throttling. A server system can receive, via an edge worker associated with a content delivery network (CDN), a first set of requests to access a first site. The server system can determine that traffic to the first site is to be throttled. The server system can determine a throttling rate. The server system can transmit instructions to the edge worker, the instructions configured to cause the edge worker to direct at least a portion of a second set of requests to access the first site to a waiting room site prior to being directed to the first site, the direction of the at least the portion of the second set of requests to the waiting room site being subject to the throttling rate.
