Case Study: Infoplum achieves uninterrupted real-time World Cup coverage handling 4.1 billion requests with Liquid Web Cloud Sites

Liquid Web Powers Real-Time Coverage of the World Cup

Infoplum‑AFP, a data management partner tasked with delivering real‑time World Cup coverage—including live scores, profiles and predictive data—faced the challenge of serving billions of global requests over a month without outages. Failure would have damaged user trust and the brand’s credibility, so reliably handling massive, sustained traffic was imperative.

Liquid Web’s Cloud Sites team provisioned a higher‑node cluster, custom‑tuned load balancers, additional IP addresses and continuous monitoring to scale capacity and streamline routing. The result: 153 million hits per day, more than 100 million pageviews, 4.1 billion requests handled over the tournament, zero interruptions, and delivery to audiences in 20+ countries across 15 languages.
