Cricket Match from a Devops Lens

Submitted Sep 27, 2024

Tsunami Traffic, Traffic Avalanche, Hockey Stick Curve are some of the common terms laid out as the benchmark for developing systems at scale.
As the first hire for the Jiocinema Devops team @ Viacom18 I got the opportunity to work on breaking these benchmarks while maintaining our Infrastructure on a cluster of Kubernetes clusters ;)

The match outside the field

In my talk I’ll dwell into my experience with planning and execution of the infrastructure for IPL 2023 and 2024. Will highlight key insights and learnings with special focus on below areas:

  1. The preparation for large scale events begin months in advance when we regrously test the infra components and capacity planning to handle the load.
  2. Visibility on every single component becomes very crucial at scale, auto discovery helps with that.
  3. Contingency planning is crucial and even a backup plan should have a backup plan. Your SLAs should be defined and met.

Key Takeaways

  1. Scaling strategies for multiple kubernetes cluster during high traffic events
  2. Proactive monitoring and alert systems
  3. Preemptive planning and failovers mechanisms

Target Audience

  1. SREs, Devops and Platform engineers
  2. Anyone who loves cricket (everyone, duh?)
