System Performance & Limits

Sealmetrics is built to scale automatically and handle continuous traffic without data loss.

This document explains the key performance characteristics and system limits.


Auto-Scaling Infrastructure

The platform uses distributed, scalable processing clusters designed to:

  • Handle high traffic loads
  • Automatically allocate new processing resources
  • Maintain low latency
  • Protect against overload scenarios

Processing Capacity

Sealmetrics processes millions of hits per hour.

Key behaviors:

  • Pageviews scale horizontally
  • Events receive priority allocation
  • Queueing activates only during extreme spikes

Theoretical Limits

While there is no hard cap, factors affecting performance include:

  • Sudden traffic surges
  • Sustained multi-hour peak load
  • Highly event-heavy sites
  • Multiple high-traffic domains on the same account

Even in extreme situations, all hits remain captured.


Fault Tolerance

Sealmetrics architecture includes:

  • Redundant clusters
  • Automatic failover
  • No single point of failure
  • Protected write-ahead logs
  • Distributed queuing

This prevents:

  • Data loss
  • Corruption
  • Partial ingestion failures

Summary

Sealmetrics offers a robust, auto-scaling, fault-tolerant infrastructure designed for real-world analytics at scale.
No data loss. No sampling. No shortcuts.
