>>57017171>We just have to prepare in advance until the Holo site becomes a thing.In case you are serious, Cover would 100% do much worse at this than ZAN or SPWN. Remember the second protolive had major issues and that likely had a fraction of the amount of people trying to get in via Holoearth, especially since they had a paid stream as a backup and a small chunk probably opted for that out of the gate.
Scaling is a hard issue to solve since it's not easy doing load testing for this kind of thing. They would need to try hosting a free event on their service to get a feel for it, and that would be a fairly expensive test. They would also need to be repeat that a couple of times before they get something somewhat stable.
Though I will say, since the ZAN error shows an nginx page, we can assume at least the landing page is self-hosted and not using some cloud service provider. As much as I hate the cloud, this kind of service is one of the things that actually benefit from it rather than it just being pointless. The problem being it would likely cost much more than just having a central server for landing and then a load-balancer in front of VPSes for the actual streaming.
