This post details how basement.studio used Vercel to build and scale MrBeast's storefront, handling unprecedented traffic volumes. It highlights the use of Vercel for fast iteration, reliable scaling during peak traffic, and setting a platform record for site requests.

Observability was managed with Axiom.
