Ready for #RubyConf2021? We'll be there with a full lineup speakers from Shopify and opportunities to get connected both on the ground and virtually! Tickets are still available here: rubyconf.org
Want to know what we have coming up? Follow along on this thread 👇
Take it easy on the first day of the conference because we'll pick things up on day two with talks from @tenderlove, @paracycle, @flavorjones, and @kddnewton! Plus later in the day we'll have an informal session at our booth that you won't want to miss...
In the afternoon we'll have one more session from @Schwad4HD14, and an AMA with the Shopify team to give you an inside look at how we work.
🖥️ If you're attending from the comfort of your browser (we won't judge you if you're in your pajamas), we have four great virtual sessions that you can watch on your own time from @ChrisGSeaton, @peterzhu2118, @eightbitraptor, @tomstuart, and @vinistock.
Prefer to take things at your own pace? No problem! Team members will be available to chat 1:1 in our booth both on the ground AND virtually via Twitter — just tweet @ us with #RubyConf2021 to get connected with our team at the conference.
#RubyConf2021 can't come soon enough and we're excited to see you there (and online)!

Taking a step back — preparing for an event of this magnitude doesn't happen spontaneously. We initiated load testing in April and refined both our forecast and capacity model for our merchants. A special thanks to our friends @GoogleCloud for their support this holiday season🙌
During the BFCM rush, our MySQL fleet (a powerful combo of MySQL 5.7 and MySQL 8) demonstrated top notch performance, handling over 19 million queries per second (QPS) at peak.
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.
2021 was our biggest Black Friday Cyber Monday ever! Together with our friends at @GoogleCloud we achieved near-perfect uptime while averaging ~30TB/min of egress traffic across our infrastructure. That’s a massive ~43PB/day!
Here are some of the most interesting stats 🧵👇
⏪ Rewinding for a moment — preparing for an event of this scale doesn't happen overnight. In anticipation of BFCM 2021 we began load testing back in July! To better simulate real global traffic we spread out our load generation across @GoogleCloud's global network.
To keep up with the traffic over BFCM our Core MySQL fleet performed over 11 Million QPS and delivered 11 TERABYTES per second read I/O.
