As retailers prepare for the surge in online sales during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, they are implementing strategies learned from the pandemic's unprecedented digital traffic to prevent logistical issues. Approaches like extending promotions into a "Cyber Month" and using lottery systems are employed to manage customer expectations, while some companies opt out of sales altogether. The focus is on maintaining robust ecommerce infrastructure to handle high traffic without downtime, ensuring accurate pricing and inventory information, and protecting customer privacy. CockroachDB is highlighted as a solution for these challenges, offering high availability through data replication, consistent transactions, and geo-partitioning to comply with global data privacy regulations.
