A webinar talk covering how to build platforms that remain reliable during unpredictable traffic surges, with a focus on gaming and sports betting applications. Key topics include the anatomy of a traffic surge (database bottlenecks, cascading timeouts, retry storms), design principles for resilience (concurrency-first design using lightweight processes like Elixir, horizontal scalability, process isolation, event-driven workflows, observability, caching strategies), and operational best practices such as load testing with sudden synchronized spikes, chaos engineering, automated scaling, and incident response playbooks.
