Flash sales are a huge scaling issue for Shopify. There are celebrities who want to sell thousands of items in a few minutes window at the end of an advertised countdown. Basically this is an incredibly rare case but a feature that they want to support.

There were woot offs 20 years ago. Flash sales are not some new scaling issue.

  Its also not a solved one considering basically no platforms support them.

    It's not? Shopify does it, woot does it, amazon does it, yes style does it, royal Caribbean does it. Seems like a lot of places can do it for it not to be a solved problem.
