Every year, Black Friday and Cyber Monday reveal how people shop, browse, and discover products at global scale. For Vercel, the weekend doesn't require a different operating mode. The platform behaves the same way it does every day, only with higher traffic volume.
A live dashboard showed the traffic as it played out.
This year, traffic reached more than 115.8 billion total requests, reflecting 33.6% year-over-year growth with consistent performance throughout the events.
The traffic shape told a familiar story. Requests dipped on Thanksgiving as people stepped away from screens, then surged on Black Friday, stayed elevated through the weekend, and built into a second wave on Cyber Monday.
These rhythms played out across every major geography, and the platform adapted continuously without configuration changes or manual intervention.
Below is a snapshot of what the weekend looked like.
