Another Black Friday Cyber Monday (BFCM) weekend done and dusted!

We achieved 99.999+% uptime while averaging 3 Terabytes per minute of egress traffic across our infrastructure.

That’s 4.3 Petabytes per day! 🤯

Check out the thread for more awesome performance stats 🧵👇

🚢 Helping us stay on top of the traffic over BFCM, our MySQL fleet performed over 14 Million queries per second (QPS) at peak, averaging over 8.5 Million QPS throughout BFCM.

📇At peak BFCM, we indexed 16 Gigabytes per second of data of logs.

🔍To monitor the availability and scalability of our merchants and stay ahead of any potential issues, we collected up to 20 Billion operational metrics per minute and generated 27 Gigabits per second in metrics volume. 😲

📈We served 75.98 Million requests per minute to our commerce platform at peak. That’s 1.27 Million requests per second!

🎚️To keep our system responsive under heavy load this weekend we processed over 32 Billion asynchronous tasks using Resque.

💫Over the weekend we delivered over 24 Billion webhooks to support the +8,000 apps in the @ShopifyDevs ecosystem.

🚀Our data platform saw an average throughput increase of 35 percent over 2021.

What an amazing few days for Shopify merchants! 🎉
