Walmart Crashes and Amazon Crawls: Metrics and Insights (blog.syntraffic.com) 5 points by hsapien 11y ago ↗ HN
[–] tnator 11y ago ↗ While the data is interesting, are we really sure Walmart.com availability was 91%? If that was really the case, it would have been covered more widely, don't you think? [–] goPro99 11y ago ↗ I ran into at least 1 error page on AMZN that day and their availability is captured as 100%. [–] goPro99 11y ago ↗ If they are capturing only 500 status code and not soft failures (which might be amazon's case), that could explain 100% availability. [–] bbali 11y ago ↗ Walmart had their share of issues: http://adage.com/article/cmo-strategy/amazon/299506/Side note: AMZN just announced profits, perhaps time to buy WMT ;-)
