Speaking of Double Eleven, most people’s impression is to buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy. Everyone must think that as programmers , we must be relaxed and comfortable as you do in Double Eleven. In fact, the real situation is far from that. In other words, the real situation is much worse than you think. It is relaxing and comfortable for you, but it is more like a hard battle for us. Below , let’s talk about the unknown sad stories of programmers who have passed Double Eleven.
Normal people spend Double Eleven, they are comparing each other's prices, looking at each other's discounts, waiting for a full discount, and then looking forward to express delivery. Everything looks ordinary.
However, the situation faced by programmers is completely the opposite. At the beginning of Double Eleven, the entire server of entered a highly running state, and , and the programmers behind this have to solve various bugs to prevent the server from crashing.
To give a common example, normally, the number and number of people passing through a room within a certain period of time are basically certain, and the number is relatively small in normal times. If the upper limit of the server is large enough at this time, it can run normally without many programs.
But it will be different on Double Eleven. This room is not only full of people, but also the entrances and exits are extremely crowded. This is high concurrency. The programmer and the order administrator must solve all the problems and bugs that occur one by one, maintaining the normal evacuation of the flow of people and the stability of the order in the entire room.
In addition, there are various new products launched and unknown changes, which need to be maintained by programmers to prevent problems.
Then someone will ask, what will happen if does not have a programmer doing these tasks?
An obvious result is that this page crashes, and you can no longer buy what you love through this page. This situation means that the demand volume has not yet been added to the upper limit of the server, but because some changes by merchants, such as full reductions, etc. are not timely, or if there are too many changes and the errors, they cannot be cancelled in time, and the transactions generated during this period will cause great losses to merchants or buyers.
Current status of programmers during Double Eleven.
During Double Eleven, we basically entered the high overtime state. eat and sleep everything is carried out in the company. You should know that in our industry, it is a high-strength and high-pressure state, and it is even worse during Double Eleven. It really makes us miserable. I pray every day that my repaired page will work normally. I will add less bugs to myself and more hair to myself.
But every time you shop, you may be a programmer who exchanges his own hair. Everyone must seize Double Eleven and cherish this opportunity!
