Scale for Peak Traffic
E-commerce sites need cloud infrastructure that scales automatically during traffic spikes — Black Friday, campaigns, seasonal peaks — while maintaining fast page load times.
Essential Components
- Auto-Scaling: Automatically add resources during peak demand
- CDN (Content Delivery Network): Serve static assets from global edge locations
- Redis Cache: In-memory caching for fast product catalog and session data
- Load Balancer: Distribute traffic across multiple servers
- Database Optimization: Read replicas and connection pooling
Performance Targets
Sub-second page loads, 99.99% uptime, and the ability to handle 10x normal traffic during campaigns. Cloud infrastructure makes this achievable and cost-effective.
