Adobe Analytics reports Black Friday online spending soared to a record $11.8 BILLION! It seems even the internet is getting tired from all that traffic.

Ever wonder about the massive infrastructure that handles a *trillion* retail site visits in a single day? What's the unsung hero tech stack behind these numbers?

Are any databases vibe-scale?

#webscale

next year's @SeaGL streaming tech stack: k8s, running on a NixOS base system, with a MongoDB-backed Haskell blockchain implementation (bc #webscale) running in the cluster on the laptop.

...the blockchain is the message bus by which the GPT controls the streaming laptop. oh and also Prometheus.

🚀 Ah yes, because obviously the ultimate combo for web scale is Node.js wrapped in #Rust with a sprinkle of #JavaScript and cookies. 🍪💡 What could possibly go wrong when alchemists try to turn tech buzzwords into throughput gold? 🙄

Just did something I have avoided for ~15 years: I installed a MongoDB server. 😂

It's not for myself, but am I #webscale by association now?

I foresee an awful lot of research into Mongo sharding, indexing and caching in my near future.

#WebScale

@benjojo but that is 170k visitors a day! #webscale

When your daily cron starts taking >24h to run...

#bigdata #bigdataproblems #webscale #buzzwords

That’s groundbreaking throughput of *checks notes* 0.065Gbps per node if 100s of nodes is literally only 100 of them #webscale

@thedarktangent sure. It depends how the software scales out right now, but I imagine it's still fairly naïve. My theory is that the actual behind-the-scenes work pulling data from all other federated instances takes quite a bit of processing power and bandwidth. It would be wise to break this out to a separate vertically scaled service while the day-to-day handling of user requests is scaled out horizontally.

“It works for my use-case” is the #webScale version of “ it works on my machine”.

I’m looking at you #kubernetes.

I'm also pleased to announce that we are now officially #WebScale with a massive cluster of queue processors across our entire network #InstanceCEOs. We are synergizing with the Blockchain to provide a massive boost to our #Exposure.

[actually we're just using a single VPS with 4 cores]

@Gargron but is it #webscale 😜?

@cwebber

Which is why I'd now like to introduce you to my newest and most unholy of projects...
BlortMail™!!!

It's the Rusian roulette of mail servers! Did it send? Was it to your ex-girlfriend or your boss? You'll never know, and that's half the fun! (The other half is configuring this ungodly abomination!) Coming soon to an enterprise #webscale #blockchain #cloudfirst deployment near YOU!

With love... from BlortCo™!
