High-Traffic Web Platform
Fleadh Cheoil
Engineering a robust, massively scalable festival platform capable of handling half a million concurrent visitors without breaking a sweat.
The Bottleneck
Festival websites are notorious for crashing on ticket release days or during schedule announcements. Fleadh Cheoil needed an absolute guarantee of 100% uptime during unprecedented traffic spikes.
The Architecture
We completely decoupled the frontend from the database. By utilising aggressive Edge caching and Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR), 99% of requests never hit the origin database. The result? Zero downtime, ultra-fast load times, and a frictionless experience for 500,000+ attendees.
