About the project

GC Global Champions is the world most dynamic equestrian sports series with large volume of internet traffic from across the world. They rely on us to make sure their platform can scale automatically with their traffic without breaking the bank.

The world's biggest equestrian sports platform gets hit with 300% traffic spikes every event weekend. viewers streaming live results from across the globe, all at once.

We built infrastructure that auto-scales during peak load and dials back down between events, so cloud costs don't spike proportionally with the traffic.

A stable platform that never breaks under pressure, and a cloud bill that doesn't either. The result?

Lower cloud cost ✓

Stable platform under load ✓

Real-time data during every show ✓

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