DevOps for E-Commerce

E-commerce sites face traffic patterns that vary by orders of magnitude — Black Friday traffic can be 20x normal. Product pages need CDN-level caching while shopping carts need session consistency. Checkout must be highly available even when the rest of the site struggles. Inventory systems need real-time consistency. We design infrastructure that handles all of these gracefully.

We configure aggressive auto-scaling with pre-warming capabilities. Application containers scale horizontally based on request count and latency metrics. Database read replicas handle increased query load. CDN caching offloads static assets and product catalog pages. For planned sales events, we pre-scale infrastructure based on expected traffic and scale down automatically after.

Product pages are cached at the CDN edge with stale-while-revalidate headers for instant loads. Redis caches product data, session state, and cart contents. Database queries are optimized with read replicas and connection pooling. Image optimization pipelines serve WebP/AVIF at appropriate sizes. We target sub-1-second Time to First Byte for product pages.

The checkout flow is the most revenue-critical path. We isolate checkout services with dedicated compute, database connections, and payment gateway redundancy. Circuit breakers prevent upstream failures from blocking purchases. Queue-based order processing handles burst submissions gracefully. Health checks and automated failover ensure checkout stays available.

Deployment pipelines run automated tests including visual regression tests for product pages and checkout flow e2e tests. Blue-green or canary deployments ensure zero downtime. Deployment windows avoid peak shopping hours. Feature flags allow gradual rollout of new features without full deployments.
