    Nerd BFCM stats: Shopify’s egress processed 145 billion requests on Friday. App servers handled peak of ~60 million requests per minute. Increase of 38%. Total GMV was $4.1b, up by 22% from last year. But Rails doesn't scale so what are we even doing 🤷‍♂️

    Language VMs aren’t the most intuitive but don't let that stop you. @nirvdrum put together this great guide demystifying Ruby's “code ranges”, a concept for efficiently supporting string operations in a language w/ mutable strings & 100+ string encodings.

    ⏪ Rewinding for a moment — preparing for an event of this scale doesn't happen overnight. In anticipation of BFCM 2021 we began load testing back in July! To better simulate real global traffic we spread out our load generation across @GoogleCloud's global network.
