Case Study: Jung von Matt achieves rapid auto-scaling to 180 RPS and sub-200ms response times with Divio Cloud

Jung von Matt - Customer Case Study

Jung von Matt, a Swiss agency and Divio partner, used Divio Cloud to build Tippspiel for Euro 2016. The site had to be ready before the tournament and cope with highly unpredictable, match-driven traffic spikes—rising from a baseline of about 3 requests per minute to peaks of up to 180 requests per second—so a reliable development and deployment platform was critical.

Divio provided its Cloud hosting for the Python/Django app (with Celery), using automatic scaling, a responsive database and on-demand instances while collaborating with Jung von Matt on uWSGI tuning, Django, queue and caching optimizations. Divio’s infrastructure scaled from 3 application instances (512 MB each) to 6 instances and a total of 16 GB, kept 95th‑percentile response times below 200 ms, and helped the project serve more than 15M pageviews, handle up to 180 req/s and complete 60+ live deployments in under 40 days.
