Blandan Infotech recently completed an important project with Netra News. In this post, they provided some details about the scale of the project and the technologies they use.
A big accomplishment for the company.
During the 13th Parliamentary Election of Bangladesh, our team had the opportunity to develop and operate a Parallel Vote Tabulation platform for Netra News. Over a 12-hour period on election day, the system handled more than 6.7 million edge requests as readers followed constituency-level updates and results.
To keep the platform stable and responsive, we relied on Next.js caching with Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR). This allowed frequently requested pages to be served quickly while still updating them as new data arrived. As a result, around 97% of requests were served from cache, significantly reducing load on the backend systems. Throughout the entire period, the platform ran with zero downtime. Thanks to the caching strategy, the backend was able to handle the remaining traffic without requiring a load balancer, while still maintaining consistent performance during peak demand.
Our focus was to ensure that election data remained accessible, fast, and reliable when people needed it most. We are grateful to have supported Netra News in delivering timely election coverage through a stable and dependable platform.
