Serving election results to an entire nation
summary
Greenfield .NET Core API serves Norway’s election results with cloud redundancy, key-value JSON blobs per district and cached static data; migration from Entity Framework to Dapper and SQL Server plus clustered key indexes and a one-second burst memory cache cuts latency. Load tests use k6 and production handles 2 million requests with 13.6 ms average response and zero logged errors; manual publish at 21:00 flips the site live and the system scales while competitors fail.
