A major live broadcast was expected to peak at up to 20,000 requests per second, and the infrastructure had to be ready in about 10 days. The challenge was not the traffic itself. It was making sure the platform would hold when it mattered, with a single CDN, unconfirmed origin failover and unproven multi-region redundancy.
Triangu validated CloudFront quotas, cache strategy, origin failover, multi-region resilience, backend load, geo-restriction and disaster recovery in three phases: quotas, Origin Shield and baselines first; load testing, cache tuning and failover next; then a full rehearsal with chaos testing and a war room.
The result was peak-load-ready infrastructure, risks mitigated before air, a tested failover plan, and readiness for a major live event in 10 days.
