Needed massive concurrent load capability for live global events.

Key Metric

1.8M
Connections/sec

The Result

Hit 1.8M concurrent connections per second in intense production load tests.

The Challenge

Building critical second-screen engagement apps for live events (like the PGA Tour for Sony or campaigns for AB InBev) means heavy traffic hits simultaneously in a single second. The underlying infrastructure needed to absorb massive socket connection waves without failing.

The Solution

I ruthlessly re-architected the mobile backend on AWS using Python and highly optimized Redis. I built a dedicated, aggressive load-testing infrastructure to simulate extreme live-event conditions, identifying and crushing bottlenecks weeks before game day.

Core Technologies Used:

AWSPythonRedisLoad Testing

Business Outcome

I successfully scaled the infrastructure to handle an incredible 1.8M concurrent connections per second, guaranteeing zero downtime and massive success for critical global campaigns.
