That's awesome, I can relate since I helped launch several million entry sweepstakes sites for brand marketing in a past role. We made sure we enabled auto-scaling and deployed the sites on platform-as-a-service cloud platforms. That was some nice piece of mind! Actually it wasn't the sites themselves but the database that was harder to scale, as SQL Server didn't do load balancing in the cloud. Those were very expensive instances we had to spin up to keep up with the load 😅
