Abstract
Shopify is an e-commerce platform that powers over 150,000 online shops such as Tesla and GitHub. During the weekend of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the platform gets hit with over a million requests per minute resulting in over 6,000 orders per minute (~50 million dollars.) Learn how we scale our Rails app and the measures we take (load testing, monitoring, caching, etc.) to ensure that there are no hiccups during this important weekend.
