ARCHITECTING A LIVE LOOK AT RELIABILITY: STRIPE'S VIRAL BLACK FRIDAY SITE

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Stripe built a real-time microsite for Black Friday and Cyber Monday in 2023 to provide detailed insights into its core business using Vercel. The microsite displayed Stripe's reliability, transaction volumes, and global activity during this period. The company used Next.js, SWR, and ISR to create the site fast, and it used strategies like Stale-While-Revalidate (SWR) and Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) to manage real-time data and interactions while minimizing backend queries.
