Cyberweek t-shirts have been a tradition for TeamSPS for more than a decade. In recent years we've also extended the tradition to challenge coins and POAP tokens. The design for these memorabilia is always done after Cyberweek so that we can pull in "the story" of each year. 2024 was the year of scale and resiliency driving super fast performance! This year's incredible execution of the Scale & Resiliency efforts resulted in huge improvements in our systems. Some of our core services operated 6 times faster than they did in previous years. This resulted in an incredibly robust Cyberweek, as well as an efficient one. Last year's 800 servers was this year's fleet of 200 that were not saturated. The design this year reflects this theme of "Getting Fit" harking to a gym theme. The shirt shows a robot, representing the SPS platform, lifting a massive weight. The plates are "100k Parcel" plates, represented by this token and the challenge coins. The robot is not massive but is instead svelte and agile. Lifting with ease this incredible load. All designs by the incredible Meghan McDermott.

This POAP is made specially for the subscribers of the Weekly Thing to celebrate the 300th issue of the newsletter. The very first Weekly Thing was sent on May 13, 2017 and the 300th on November 9, 2024! The claim code was sent directly to each member that received the 300th issue.

Cyber week t-shirts have been a tradition for TeamSPS for more than a decade. In recent years we've also extended the tradition to challenge coins and POAP tokens. The design for these memorabilia is always done after cyber week has come to an end so that we can pull in "the story" of each year. 2023 was the year of massive scale! "Set Max Scale 800" was the call to action and a cartoon theme with multiple frames was the concept. Starting with an overloaded small town filled with orange infrastructure the scaling call is initiated and digital clouds start to "rain" capacity that scales everything up. The final frame shows the Max Scale with everything in a nice cool blue. Towers built with the cloud infrastructure displaying the monikers of some of our key infrastructure. Skyways connect the towers to show the interdependencies between different systems. The parcel count for cyber week is indicated on the tallest building. SPS Tower is in the mix with a "Rocket to 1" on top! Design by Meghan McDermott.
