Major live events are among the ultimate stress tests for streaming infrastructure. Audiences can increase rapidly, millions of people may try to access content at the same time, and viewers expect services to remain fast and uninterrupted.
During the recent elections in Serbia, United Cloud’s streaming platform reached a new milestone, handling a record 4.7 Tbps of traffic across our content delivery networks, with zero outages.
For United Cloud, this achievement is a powerful validation of the resilient and scalability of the streaming platform we have built. Supporting millions of users during periods of exceptionally high demand requires technology that can rapidly scale while continuing to deliver a reliable experience.
This milestone demonstrates the resilience of our architecture at every layer:
• Intelligent Edge Routing: Our regional and global CDN edges successfully cached, replicated, and distributed high volumes of live video traffic under extreme pressure, without bottlenecks.
• High-Availability Backend: Our session management, API gateways, and user authentication systems handled substantial spikes in users accessing services at the same time, ensuring a fast and responsive experience for every user.
Robust technology, thorough preparation, and close teamwork enabled United Cloud to manage record levels of traffic seamlessly and without disruption.
We don't just build platforms for standard day-to-day operations, we build them to perform when demand is at its highest.
