25 million requests, zero downtime: how YARD and CWS launched in 7 days

YARD and Creative Web Solutions (CWS) successfully launched a fan-facing website for a major sports league event in Paris within a seven-day timeframe, despite having no concrete traffic forecasts and limited time and budget. By utilizing Upsun's JAMstack platform with elastic autoscaling and Git-based workflows, they managed to deploy the site in just three days, ensuring it could handle over 25 million HTTP requests with zero downtime. The platform's infrastructure-as-code approach and real-time support enabled the team to adapt quickly to last-minute changes and maintain site performance without overprovisioning, thus aligning infrastructure costs with actual usage. This project serves as a blueprint for delivering scalable, reliable digital experiences under tight deadlines, showcasing how the right platform and collaboration can turn a high-pressure timeline into a successful launch.
