How Does Nike Handle Requests Per Second During Major Product Drops?

20 Replies, 2264 Views

Hey everyone,

So, I’ve been wondering—how does Nike actually handle those insane nike requests per second during major drops? Like, we all know their site gets absolutely slammed, but how do they keep it from crashing?

Do they use some next-level server setup or what? And what about bots? I’ve heard they’ve got some crazy bot protection, but does it really work when the nike requests per second hit the roof?

Also, does anyone know if they scale up their servers just for drops or if it’s always running at max capacity?

Kinda curious cuz I’ve missed out on so many drops due to errors or the site just freezing lol.

Any insights? Or is it all just black magic? 😅
