Alibaba Chief Technology Officer Zhang Jianfeng: "This year's Double 11 is commanded by machines and people."
Behind the global carnival on Double 11 is an invisible "super project". At midnight, just like the Three Gorges Dam opening the gate to release floods, consumers from all over the world instantly poured in: 2017 Tmall Double 11 started in 3 minutes and 1 second, and the transaction volume exceeded 10 billion yuan. The new world record in the binary world has been refreshed again: the peak transaction creation peak reached 325,000 transactions per second, and the peak payment peak reached 256,000 transactions per second, 2.1 times that of last year, but Alibaba still guarantees a "silky smooth experience".
