Low conversion rate

Visitor abandonment
Churned subscribers

Poor user experience
Brand impact?
consumer confidence?
Traffic spikes can exceed customer’s origin capacity and risk the origin web infrastructure and may result the following consequences:
Low conversion rate
Retail sites see peak traffic during holiday season, especially during popular shopping days such as Cyber Monday and Black Friday
Visitor abandonment
Large surges in site visitors can overwhelm backend applications that require multiple, dynamic database queries and application processing to administer
Deploying additional infrastructure to support transaction systems during peak traffic periods is not ideal
very expensive
results in capacity under utilization as the additional infrastructure is only needed for a few days in a year.
- Customer needs to activate the the cloudlet when they’ve anticipated or are experiencing application overload
- Need to explain how they prioritize users
