Too many user requests per hour, system is down. What should I do?

SSL problem on the EC2 server side, I have too many people wanting to sign up and AWS is not being responsive to the matter. What do I do? Who should I talk to?

@sreenington that actually makes sense

Sree · Answer

Are you hosting your front end in an EC2 instance? Why not host it on platforms like Amplify or Vercel? If you have a backend operation, I would host that as a lambda function (serverless).

EC2 makes sense for usages where you're 100% sure of load and can put the CPU under said consistent load. If your application is near idle 99% of the time, like most web based stuff are, then the entirely serverless implementation is not only the cheapest, but also most resilient deployment option there is.
