Black Friday and Cyber Monday readiness update


Platform Readiness

Our platform is built to automatically scale capacity in response to increasing traffic demand. Ahead of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday period, we have proactively increased the baseline capacity across all core services to ensure stability and performance even under peak load.

Our engineering and operations teams have completed comprehensive validation and are confident the system can comfortably handle the anticipated high-volume traffic throughout the holiday period.

Change Freeze

To maintain maximum stability and reliability during the high-traffic period, Sitecore will implement a temporary change freeze.

During this time, no non-critical updates or deployments will be performed in the production environment.

This approach ensures a stable and predictable experience for your customers throughout the holiday season.
