Statamic At Scale with TV2 🚀

A couple of weeks ago TV2, a Danish public broadcaster, launched their first of seven sites they're working on migrating this year. TV SYD, a regional branch of TV2, launched their news site tvsyd.dk with some impressive performance results.

First Day Stats:

Total Requests: ~5.4 million
Traffic: 500GB
Unique Visitors: 194k
Pageviews: 343k

In terms of how they're using Statamic, it's pretty vanilla. In a good way! They employ Antlers, Alpine.js, Tailwinds CSS, and ~30 custom addons. Lots of them are even available on our Marketplace while some remain private. They have a super fancy and complex infrastructure setup at their scale using a Kubernetes cluster. We all know how to pronounce Kubernetes, right?

Here's a quote from Sylvester Damgaard, Systems Architect at TV2:

This successful launch gives us great confidence as we proceed with migrating the remaining six sites to Statamic. Stay tuned for more updates and insights!

We're looking forward to their upcoming sites and are proud to have another partner at a scale like this next to Spiegel.
