How Mux Data monitored the largest livestream in history

Mux Data successfully monitored one of the largest live streaming events in history, with over 30 million concurrent viewers. The event shattered existing streaming records and generated massive amounts of data. To support this scale, Mux deployed a separate ingestion pipeline, scaled event collection and processing horizontally and vertically, load tested the system architecture, and made adjustments based on real traffic conditions. Flexibility in their microservice architecture allowed them to handle unprecedented scale during the event.
