The Serverless Technologies behind the Double 11 Festival
summary
Alibaba Cloud describes how it supported the Double 11 shopping festival by scaling to 4 million cores and over 10 billion QPS using a serverless stack: Function Compute (FaaS), Serverless Kubernetes (ECI), SAE, OSS and MaxCompute. Concrete migration steps are presented — container-to-function patterns, OSS-triggered transcoding, CI/CD with Serverless Dev — plus topology details (28 regions, 85 AZs, 2,800 CDN nodes) and a hands-on sandbox; the result is that festival traffic is handled while operational costs and overhead are reduced.
