Huge expected user spike- how to manage

Questions
1

Hey hey,

For context, we are on the Starter plan, launched our site in May and have about 6500 user profiles at the moment.

We are expecting a huge user sign up spike in Jan 2025. Our guess is 100,000 people will view the site within a 3 hour period, with 10-15% of those people creating profiles.

We want the site to not break, and run smoothly so everyone has a good experience. Anyone got any advice on how to prepare for that spike?

E.g. we have a chatbot that pulls from Open AI, but we are open to turning stuff like that off if it means the site will load quicker/ not break.

It would be best if you used a load tester, but I don’t think they work well with Bubble.

@it114 I have an article on this that outlines a few different strategies (some of which can be combined). Maybe it can be helpful:

Just to note that this still talks about Capacity?

Yeah. I don’t think 10k users will break bubble per se, but the bill might break OP’s bank.

Still a great and relevant article @petter

But for the OP - perhaps figure out that maths? How much WU does a signup cost and a dropout cost? When you’ve profiled the usage and have those two numbers you can start modelling costs any consider and journey refinements.

Good point, I’ll have a look at updating it for workload. Thanks for mentioning!

I’ve updated the article now to reflect the changes workload brings to the table. Thanks again @ihsanzainal84 :raised_hands:
