Hi! I'm a high school journalist writing for the Yale Daily News Summer Journalism Program about why AMC's ticketing site has crashed three times this year during major movie releases. I'm looking for general expertise on why high-traffic sites tend to fail under sudden demand spikes. Would anyone with SRE/DevOps experience be willing to answer a few quick questions? Thank you.
