Day G Black Friday of your server

[sobitaplabony]

On February 14 September 1 and March 8, flower shop owners triple their staff and purchases. There are slightly more “key” dates in adult stores, but the picture is the same. There are many online stores for which a specific day of sales gives a third of the annual turnover. The shaft of sales and the crowd of customers is wonderful. Applause to those who were able to skim off the cream. But today we turn to those who could not. Or he can't. Day G On day G, your website will stop working. You will suddenly notice: the flow of orders, letters and calls suddenly stopped. On such a day, you are unlikely to look at the growing bank account in a relaxed way, rather, you will start “putting out fires”, “in soap” to ensure the work of the delivery and call center and in every possible way feel the beat of life.


With a bad feeling you will open your site and see this or like that... Of course, you have "programmers". But they will not be up to you. Firstly, they also have a “G day”, they fix the site that fell before yours. And secondly, by the evening you need to have time to order flowers, sushi and Peru Phone Number List something from that adult store that didn’t fall. You will restart the server. The site will rise and work exactly 16 minutes. It's a habit developed over the years. The habit of falling under load. The flowers will wither, the pizza will get cold, the romance will go to the warehouse. However, enough to torment you. You know how frustrating it is to count downtime hours and count financial losses. Let's discuss symptoms and treatment. And most importantly, let's talk about prevention.



Symptoms of an imminent fall In fact, there are no symptoms. Might just fall. But if you are lucky, then before the planned peak of sales, the site will start to malfunction. The increase in orders has not yet begun, and the stream of small errors on the pages and strange freezes is obvious. Either Metrica will swear, or the employees will say something - the site was not working again. Maybe the hoster will send some threatening text. But ... you will see him later. The air smells of trouble. How to raise a site If the server has crashed, you need to act quickly, although it is unlikely that you will be able to eliminate the source of the problem. The maximum is to locally remove the symptoms. The verification cycle looks like this (we go until we find the problem): Home and the time of its opening; Conversion path and problems on it; Order processing on the backend; Operator work, shipping, notifications, accounting.
