  Extensive Preparation and Audits: Planning starts months in advance . Service owners define breaking points for their systems (front end, CDN, load balancer, back end, databases). Partners undergo audits to ensure their infrastructure and mitigations are ready. Front-End Optimisation: Code freezes are implemented well in advance of the back-end systems, and continue to ship new features during the tournament. Feature flags are used extensively to quickly turn off features on specific platforms if issues arise (e.g., increased crash rates). Simulations using tools like Charles mimic potential API failures (5XX errors, latency, DNS failures) to ensure a smooth user experience. Graceful degradation is implemented to minimise customer impact. Prioritising core features (P0 - live stream) and ads. Non-critical features (P1, P2) can fail without displaying error messages to users. Exponential back-off strategies are implemented for API retries to prevent system o...

for more detail EBC itinerary like what to pack and carry and our details experience  Click here My journey began in Bengaluru, where I boarded a train that would take 28 long hours to reach Pune. The next day, I met up with my fellow traveler, and we were excited for our next leg: a train to Gorakhpur. However, we soon discovered we had RAC tickets, meaning we had to share a seat for the entire 33-hour journey. I was okay with it, but my partner wasn’t thrilled. Yet, we managed to settle in. The train passed through Bhopal, Banaras, and Mirzapur, but then it was delayed by four hours. To save time, we decided to take a direct bus to the Sanoli border, which would take about three to four hours. Once we arrived, a friendly tanga rikshaw driver took us to a money exchange shop, where we got a good rate of 1.6 NPR. After purchasing Nepali SIM cards, we hopped on a bus to Kathmandu. The driver promised we’d arrive by 6 PM, but the bumpy roads delayed us, and we reached around 11 PM in...

Bengaluru to Mangalore The journey began from Bengaluru at the KSRTC railway station at night. On the train, I met two people heading to the Amrutham Temple near Dharmasthala, a famous spot in Dakshina Kannada. Mangalore In Mangalore, Pavan hosted me at his house. I arrived at Mangalore Junction, took a bus to Lalbagh (KSRTC), and then another bus, number 33, to Akash Bhavan.
