"But, Parler has been flaky for hours now. It’s obvious they are not able to handle the amount of traffic they are getting."

Without question, their company's server farm (via Amazon - Cloudfront) isn't big enough to account for the 10,000% increase in traffic in the last few hours. Kinda difficult to reasonably plan for such events.

Or, Amazon has throttled them back.

“Or, Amazon has throttled them back.”

Funny you mention that. I just read an article that said this is exactly the case.

It’s now being reported that in addition to Apple removing the Parler App from their platform that Google has now removed them as well.
We are in the midst of an all-out assault by Leftists on Conservative Free Speach.

AWS can be very expensive. No doubt Parler wasn’t setup for a sudden scale.
