Scaling software environments for large events presents several challenges, including ensuring consistency across environments, managing resource allocation, and maintaining performance under heavy loads. Companies must also address the logistical complexities of coordinating the deployment of numerous instances, often in real-time. Additionally, technical challenges such as latency, resource contention, and potential failures need to be mitigated to prevent disruptions during the event. Effective planning, testing, and the use of automation are critical in overcoming these challenges.
