I don't think it will be too bad. The site crashed on the launch because that was a nationally promoted event with short films on different stations and everything. The only people who are waiting to jump on B&P right at 9:01 are on this forum and other similar ones. No one else is in a rush to figure out what they are going to order, 2 months before they can do so.

With that said, can't wait to check it out at 9:01!

I will be checking at midnight Eastern but I think it's actually going to go live at 01:01 AM Eastern. There will also likely be a waiting room to handle the load and keep the site up. I really don't think the site will crash but you may have to wait awhile before you can actually get in.
Looks like it was updated to 12:01 Eastern.

Their stuff is cloud based now so technically there "shouldn't" be scaling issues.
Which we found out on July 13th, in which they did have scaling issues. Here is my problem with Ford being in the cloud, as you say. You pay all that money to be there (in the Cloud), for what, to see your reservation system go down in a ball of flames within the first few minutes. If they couldn't scale resources then, they may not be able to scale for B&P, and this B&P is a new system, forget about it, they dont know how the "Cloud" works to begin with. Probably still building it on JAVA. I dont have a whole lot of confidence in their rockstars.

why dont they just release it now? Why does B&P have to be a spectacle?
Telling by the cluster f**ck of this launch that would mean Ford would have to look at what the customers would prefer. They are already deep into the rabbit hole of pissing us off so they might as well just keep going.

The B&P page is gonna crash so hard when it launches. :ROFLMAO:

Either way, against my better judgement I am primed and ready for 11:01pm Central Time!

I wonder if the materials walk through won't come to fruition since the B&P will be released... guess that's not surprising??‍♂?‍♂

Part of the problem with the reservation issue was that because you were giving credit card, name, address info all of those interactions are considered "dynamic" meaning they need to go back to a main server(s) and database to be stored and then tied to every page request after that. Since the build and price shouldn't require any of this info most of it can be considered static and cacheable, meaning it doesn't have to go back to the main servers / databases and can be replicated in the cloud. That cloud is already scaled to 100,000X of the number of servers they likely have (an east and west typically). This "should" be a much better experience than the reservation fiasco.

Can't wait for B&P to finally launch so I can cut back on checking this forum every hour, and being emotionally drained from reading all of the insufferable negative comments.

Can. Not. Wait.
