Description: A traffic surge refers to a sudden increase in the amount of data transmitted over a network. This phenomenon can be caused by various factors, such as increased demand for content, the virality of an event on social media, or the implementation of digital marketing campaigns. In the context of content delivery services, a traffic surge can result in a higher load on servers, potentially affecting content load speed and availability. To handle these traffic peaks, it is crucial to have a scalable infrastructure that can adapt to fluctuations in demand. The main characteristics of a traffic surge include its sudden and temporary nature, as well as its potential to cause network congestion if not managed properly. The relevance of understanding and anticipating these surges lies in the need to ensure a smooth and efficient user experience, especially in a world where digital content is increasingly consumed and shared on a large scale.
