Ask Me Anything: Preparing for peak traffic events

Published on ‎07-12-2022 05:55 AM by Community Manager | Updated on ‎08-22-2022 09:44 AM

Whether it’s a product launch, new store opening, limited-time sale, or holiday, peak traffic events are critical for your business. 

Don’t just hope that they’ll run smoothly! Join us for our Ask Me Anything session on August 25th to learn how to successfully plan for peak traffic and launch events to avoid any disruptions for your customers and your business.

The experts will cover the three key components in preparing for a successful event:

  • Preparation: Activities that can help you prepare for your event include an architecture review, load testing, quota limits and/or capacity planning - just to name a few.
  • Execution: As your event begins you’ll need to closely monitor and react accordingly.
  • Analysis: After your event is completed, analyze what went well, what didn’t, and how to improve for future events.

As always, you’ll also have an opportunity to ask the experts questions and receive answers live.

Save your spot by selecting the "Yes" button on the right, and ask your questions in advance by posting a comment below. 

With this series of Ask Me Anything events, it's our goal to provide a trusted space where you can receive support and guidance along your cloud journey. We hope to see you there!

Hi @Soham_Dey, 
Peak traffic events are major business-related events that cause a sharp increase in traffic beyond your application's standard baseline, such as Black Friday for retail businesses, or the months of October and November for the healthcare industry due to spikes in online traffic for benefits enrollment.

Launch events are any substantial roll outs or migrations of new capability in production. For example, a migration from on-premises to the cloud, or a launch of a new product service or feature.

With peak traffic and launch events, it's important your organization's cloud architecture is properly executed to deliver great performance with minimal to no downtime. Learn more in the Cloud Architecture Center here.

But I recommend signing up for the session to learn all about peak traffic events and to ask any questions live with the experts 😀

Hi,

My observation is that the classic HTTP load balancer has a performance problem connecting to computers in the EU at some hours during the day. Most of the time this happens during peak business hours in the US. I do not observe this slowdown with the managed HTTP load balancer. So I have questions:
1. Is there any way to fix this?
2. If no, is it possible to upgrade from the classic HTTP balancer to the managed HTTP balancer without interrupting service or with minimal interruption? We have a high traffic website and each interruption has impact on our clients. We must preserve the IP address of the global balancer because of DNS and IP whitelist entries.
