Orange is the New Black comes out in 30 minutes at midnight local time. Millions of people are refreshing their screens. How many people from Netflix eng or AWS are up monitoring the expected traffic spike?
Nice try, AWS Marketeer.
On calls are sleeping. Alerts will be triggered automatically if something goes wrong.
One show releasing ? Cmon. Netflix has tens of thousands of titles. A new season of a popular show might be a 5-10% spike over normal.
Well I stand corrected.
Yeah it’s not like Prime day for us ;). The only time in the recent past we had a some hands on deck situation was for the movie launch during superbowl and that was mainly because we wanted it to be a surprise.
Didn't stay up for it, but thanks for reminding me to check the stats this morning! It's kind of fun to see how much of a traffic spike we get from big launches.
