US Election Day is a critical period for many of VIP’s customers—a singular moment where those across media, politics, and the public sector have no room for error. Millions of Americans and millions more around the world rely on our customers for precise, up-to-the-minute updates on performant and reliable sites.

Between November 4th through the 6th, against the backdrop of a highly anticipated US Presidential general election, we served more than 22 billion requests. We mitigated DDoS attacks. And our platform delivered 100% uptime throughout.

At one point in the night, one of our media customers leveraging Parse.ly Content Analytics saw a spike of nearly 39,000 views per minute, a 162% increase over their normal traffic.

While this was a big moment, this is also business as usual for us. Election Day is just one of the many high stakes moments where we are there for our customers. We’ve built VIP from the ground up to confidently deliver in the most critical moments whenever they may happen.
