About the project

Efficient, quick, and reliable. Blackbird is always fast to reply and solves any problems we may have. I have no points for improvement!

Challenges and results

Our solution addresses several key challenges, including highly dynamic traffic that can spike by as much as 300% during events compared to a normal day. It also handles the need for high-resolution image serving, ensuring that every detail of events in stunning locations worldwide is captured. In addition, we provide real-time data during shows, displaying the latest event results live on the webpage. Despite these demands, the system is highly efficient, with cloud costs that don't increase proportionally with traffic and a consistently high site uptime.
