It was great to spend time with @bcantrill and the @oxidecomputer crew recently. They have built some amazing hardware and have a really talented team! I'm excited to see what this can do for us!

This is my 10th BFCM watching the dashboards, and this is definitely the coolest "dashboard" yet to date.

The most important story of every business is the one about _why_ it exists. Pulling this story out of a business is hard to do well. I challenged our team to try anyway and I love what they came back with.
*This* is why Shopify exists.

I MADE MY FIRST SMART HOME PRODUCT 🥳🤯
I've wanted a device like this that had all of this functionality in one single device, and no one was making one - so we decided to - and I want you to be able to buy one! 😄
Let me show you it! 🧵👇

Here's a peak at some of the fun stats from this past BFCM weekend:
2021 was our biggest Black Friday Cyber Monday ever! Together with our friends at @GoogleCloud we achieved near-perfect uptime while averaging ~30TB/min of egress traffic across our infrastructure. That’s a massive ~43PB/day!
Here are some of the most interesting stats 🧵👇
Wow, this is my 8th BFCM at @Shopify!
Every one of those we worked hard to scale the system to handle BFCM. It's so fun to look back at all the milestones we've hit in those years. 📈

I had to sign out and back in too.
@balloob @home_assistant Maybe you should update the announcement?
Thanks @Parkmobile for not notifying me that you leaked my license plate numbers and address and probably passwords to the world. 😡

I’m realizing that I don’t know enough people who look like me that are in to this cloud/kubernetes world. Security/web dev, yes, but this world no. I want to change this. Please introduce me to these people.

I miss Dropbox (the product) circa 2012. It was perfect. It was done. A growth mindset forced all sorts of weird products that I don’t want. I miss the small, lightweight, always works file syncing. This seems like a renewed opportunity for a small lifestyle company.

Numbers are in. $5.1B sold on Shopify over BFCM weekend. This is big for our team, but the real winners are the entrepreneurs and independent businesses. To our merchants who are weathering the winds of change, and to shoppers who are voting with their dollars: well done.
