Powering global-scale commerce demands observability systems that can handle immense scale. During the BFCM peak, we processed an astounding 7TB of logs per second 🚀📊

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🙌

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.

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.
