The problem
Concurrent users increased tenfold during exam periods and the existing infrastructure could not take the load. Page load times exceeded 8 seconds at peak hours.
Our approach
- An edge caching and static regeneration strategy
- Moving video delivery to adaptive bitrate streaming
- A queue-based write architecture for the exam module
- A performance budget based on real user monitoring (RUM)
The result
Exam-period traffic is handled without interruption. Page load stays under a second even at peak hours.
