The original title is "Magento 2 Peak Traffic Preparation: Scaling for Black Friday and High-Events"

Short summary

A structured 8-12 week preparation plan for scaling Magento 2 stores through peak traffic events like Black Friday. Covers baseline metric capture, load testing with k6/Gatling, identifying breaking points, pre-scaling PHP-FPM workers, and tuning cache layers. Includes concrete formulas for worker calculation and k6 load test scripts simulating flash sale scenarios.

• •Start peak prep 8-12 weeks ahead: baseline metrics, load test, fix, retest
• •Calculate PHP-FPM worker needs: (peak_users × avg_response_time) / workers_per_node
• •Pre-scale manually 24 hours before events — auto-scaling is too reactive for traffic spikes
