How Bloomreach is preparing for the Holiday Peak season
Code freeze
To decrease the risk of incidents, Bloomreach implements a code freeze through the entire peak season, including January, for post-holiday clearance events. There will still be exceptions for P1 situations, but these will go through an extensive approval process via our Change Advisory Board.
📌 2024 Code freeze timelines - 8th Nov 2024 to 7th Jan 2025 📌
Monitoring systems
Bloomreach offers comprehensive monitoring throughout the peak period, ensuring that every level is meticulously overseen for optimal performance and reliability.

Increased capacity and resiliency
We have increased data center capacity and tested resilience from primary to failover data centers.
