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.
