In addition to the massive volume of data, on-chain transactions also exhibit significant traffic imbalances. Over the past year, Pumpfun's weekly transaction volume has varied nearly 30-fold from its lowest to its highest. In 2024, the meme trading platform GMGN experienced six server outages within four days, forcing it to migrate its underlying database from AWS Aurora to TiDB, an open-source distributed SQL database. The migration significantly improved the system's horizontal scalability and computing elasticity, boosting business agility by approximately 30% and significantly alleviating pressure during peak trading periods.
