Case Study: UserGroup.TV achieves scalable, low-maintenance delivery of 400+ hours of developer presentations with Everleap

Usergroup.TV Serves Up Over 400 Hours of Developer Presentations From 42 Different Groups And 215 Speakers

UserGroup.TV, created by .NET developer Shawn Weisfeld, is a volunteer-run site that hosts over 400 hours of recorded developer presentations from 42 groups and 215 speakers. Running on a shoestring budget and previously on a maintenance-heavy VPS, the project needed a way to serve a growing global audience reliably while reducing the time and cost spent on server upkeep.

Shawn moved UserGroup.TV to Everleap’s Multi-site Cloud Hosting, keeping a WordPress front end with custom ASP.NET services for automation and mobile APIs. The switch delivered predictable costs, easy scaling (multiple instances to avoid “noisy neighbor” issues), better peak response times, and dramatically reduced maintenance — letting him focus on publishing content and confidently plan for future growth and automation.
