The Elastic DBMS Blog

We're on the Today Show! Our database just crashed!

Databases power the majority of content online these days. Your web page, be it an eCommerce site, a interactive web site powered by some content management system (CMS), or a blog, stores data in a database of some kind.

And one day, you are featured on the “Today Show” and you have a celebration in your office. Then the phones start to ring, your database just crashed.

Omaha Steaks Today Show Deal: The Omaha Steaks Today show deal is really one not to be missed, and savings of 78% is a huge selection of food!

Customers were so excited by the announcement on the Today Show that they hurried to the website. The overload of traffic caused the site to crash and no one could get on to order anything.

If your database is not elastic, this may be you!
