Shopify is majority GCP, minority AWS for its cloud infrastructure [0]. Curious how they are splitting workloads between these two clouds during this extended usage spike. [0] https://www.digitalcommerce360.com/2018/03/29/shopify-picks-...

It's in the semi-custom home goods category. Can't get more specific than that.
I sell wall maps: https://ramblemaps.com Just started 3/22. They aren't exactly flying off the shelves. We're getting good traffic but conversion rate is very low. Would you expect a business like mine to be doing well in this climate? Since we're a new business it's hard to tell if it's our product or the market that is our problem.

I also don’t get what options I should be buying, and feel like I may not be the target market because I don’t appreciate the copy about the materials used (which I wouldn’t think would necessarily be the same people who like mountain cartography or are climbers.)
Obviously, take a tire-kicker’s feedback with a massive grain of salt. And I can tell that a ton of effort and love has gone into these, which is appealing.

Not sure how common my quarantine shopping style is but I doubt I'm a rarity.
The art is super cool. Hopefully it gets more attention once this is all over.
Really? What are people buying?

> workout items I wonder if gyms will ever come back from this. Gold's announced yesterday they are permanently closing 30+ locations. Even when people go back out, gyms were never the cleanest places to start with. Some places will require masks for the near future, so how does that work at a gym? Now that I'm been forced to finish my home gym, I'll likely cancel my membership once things open again.
I’m worried about the YMCA. They do an admirable job of serving the community and poorer populations, but they apparently do so (at least here) by discounting on income. If they lose any significant portion of the people who could afford to buy home equipment, can they still serve those who can’t?

Good story here https://www.visualcapitalist.com/shoppers-buying-online-ecom... Food, workout items, entertainment. A lot of categories are through the roof!

I am presently scaling a client on Shopify who started at a 30k a month ad budget. Today we scaled past $8,000 per day (So a little under 250k a month). I fully expect and we'll hit $500,000 a month in ad spend for them monthly probably in the next 2 weeks. The combination of increased screen time and major companies pulling ad dollars has cratered media prices, and in the process, created a once in a decade opportun…
Again, I am seriously not being judgmental, I am curious.

Amazon not only recovered their dip, but renewed their 52 week max several times already. And they don't even make much from online retail. To make matters more interesting, AWS seems to be _much_ busier than usual, and spot capacity is all but gone, at least at the price we were paying before. I'm not even sure why that is.
> AWS seems to be _much_ busier than usual, and spot capacity is all but gone, at least at the price we were paying before. I'm not even sure why that is. With so many people inside everyone is using online services: streaming, shopping, chatting, video, audio, gaming. Almost anything "online" is very likely to run at least something on AWS these days.
