Your mission

100,000 simultaneous users. 38 days. 9 systems. One launch. Ready?

Are you sure you want to do this?

  • What is it like to go from zero users to all the users in one day? How do you prepare for that?
  • Have you ever dealt with perfomance problems in systems you don’t control?
  • Have you ever negotiated a large-scale test with an external partner?
  • Have you built an AWS architecture with the biggest possible pieces?
  • Have you ever DDoSed your own site?
  • Have you ever lost sleep because your application won’t horizontally scale?
