Systems and methods for server load balancing based on correlated events

A system, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, are to cause the processor to:
• detect a flash sale associated with a first online store;
• identify an occurrence of a first event correlated to the flash sale associated with the first online store;
• identify a second online store distinct from the first online store and associated with a second event corresponding to the first event;
• and
• responsive to identifying the second online store distinct from the first online store and associated with the second event corresponding to the first event:
• cease to service, by a first server, requests associated with the second online store;
• and
• configure a second server to service requests associated with the second online store and commencing to service, by the second server, requests associated with the second online store.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, are to cause the one or more processors to:

• detect a flash sale associated with a first online store;
• identify an occurrence of a first event correlated to the flash sale associated with the first online store;
• identify a second online store distinct from the first online store and associated with a second event corresponding to the first event;
• and
• responsive to identifying the second online store distinct from the first online store and associated with the second event corresponding to the first event:
• cease to service, by a first server, requests associated with the second online store;
• and
• configure a second server to service requests associated with the second online store and commencing to service, by the second server, requests associated with the second online store.
