Scaling Live Streaming for 62.2 Crore Concurrent Viewers: The Tech Behind India vs Pakistan Match

Image
  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...

What is BIG DATA and Why all Tech Giants want to use this ?

  BIG DATA = BIG + DATA ? Well let's understand by simple definition. Get up in morning to go to bed in night in between that durations we use a lot of electronic gadgets in that we use whatsapp, snapchat, facebook, instagram, banking transaction, watching netflix, shopping on Amazon or Flipkart, do you guys know how much data we generate in entire day? the answer is a million of millions data. Remember its for only one person and one day if you see india's population 1.4 billion and we have 194 country on glob so multiply by that data its lots of data right? lets see how we can use that data and utilize that data. Big data is a combination of structured, semistructured and unstructured data collected by organizations that can be mined for information and used in machine learning projects, predictive modeling and other applications. Systems that process and store big data have become a common component of data management an architectures in organisations. Big data is often cha...
