8. Google Scale for Eurovision
[Eurovision] is the one of the most watched non-
sporting TV events in the world, with an estimated 125
million live viewers every year!
During the first Eurovision semifinal voting phase,
traffic went up by a factor of 5. We were able to
quickly spin up extra capacity in just a few minutes
and handle the traffic that we were receiving.
In the end, the infrastructure was ready for the
Eurovision finals on Saturday. Google Cloud Platform,
grandcentrix, and Scalr were able to deliver 50,000
RPS, with 99% of the requests completed within
35ms at the app server layer.
