Summary

The holiday season brings increased traffic to eCommerce websites and mobile applications, making it crucial for development teams to optimize their sites to handle peak traffic times. To prepare infrastructure for the holiday season, teams should understand traffic distribution at peak times, test to find breakpoints, work with marketing or use past data to anticipate potential traffic loads, keep testing until they can support the anticipated load, and be prepared for worst-case scenarios by identifying pain points in their architecture and building redundancy into their stack.
