This pic is actual footage of the “fight night” on Friday. Netflix learned 2 valuable lessons this weekend. 1. If you hype it - they will come! Over 65 Million people watched the “fight like entertainment” that was the Tyson vs Paul “fight” 2. Something we already know at Jobot: Having a good Tech Team is invaluable. They are the true heroes. We live in a world of streams, clicks and views. If the tech team does not show up and plan for the burst in bandwidth needed - the word of the day is “buffering”. A gentle reminder here for companies who are planning on breaking the internet that Jobot + Jobot Consulting place thousands of incredible engineers and teams of tech talent annually. They are the backbone of the tech revolution. Here when you need us! 💙🤖 Jobot + Heidi Find a Good Job at: Jobot.com Become a Jobot Consultant at: JobotConsulting.com
This was more fun to watch than the actual fight.
What was observed was poor infrastructure for this type of events. The credibility of users, something so important for the existence of these contracts, was damaged. We hope that its behavior will be modified in the future, implementing appropriate technical measures to avoid massive user outages.
Who would not have ensured their infrastructure supported the potential cast and done research on how to ensure that outages were minimal?
Does this mean Monolithic architecture is back on the table?
Many of us probably bought Netflix again for nothing. 🙄
They better fix something. I tried to watch this fight and got in and out trying to get it to work over a dozen times. What a joke and hear their going to start carrying more sports events. What a joke!!!

6dConsidering that Netflix is going into a new market with Live streaming sporting events. Contracts are signed and awaiting the next event in December, I will bet that there was a post-mortem analysis of the shortcomings of the Netflix infrastructure during the Tyson/Paul fight. I would tend to believe that there is a mad rush to beef up the infrastructure to allow much more concurrent users so that Netflix can scale. How this is executed could be a real win for Netflix and the shareholders. If bungled and there is a repeat of what occurred at the fight, this could be a major missed opportunity.
