Zee: Stream the World Cup at Scale

It's June 11, 2026. You are the Head of Product at ZEE5. The FIFA World Cup opening match is ten minutes away. Your dashboard shows 8M concurrent users—double your highest stress test. The "Unite8" launch is on the line. What is the move?

The principle: In live high-concurrency events, availability is the only feature that matters. The best product decision is the one that preserves the core utility for the maximum number of users, even at the cost of premium polish or secondary features.
