Flash Crowd

Imagine you're at a party and suddenly, a lot of people come in all at once. This is kind of like a flash crowd. A flash crowd happens when a lot of people suddenly go to an event or visit a website at the same time, like when tickets for a big concert go on sale or when a popular website announces a sale.

Think of it like a traffic jam on a highway. All the cars are trying to go to the same place, but the road isn't big enough to handle all the traffic at once. This can cause problems, like the website crashing or the tickets selling out too quickly.

So, it's important for websites and event organizers to be prepared for a flash crowd. They need to make sure their servers can handle a lot of traffic and that they have enough resources to serve all the people who come at once. That way, everyone can have a good time and the website or event can run smoothly.
