TORONTO – With record numbers of Canadians viewing the Winter Olympic Games on CBC Gem, the streaming platform experienced several outages due to what’s being called “an unprecedented number of people actually willing to watch something on it.”
I have it installed, but am one of the holdouts and haven’t used it.
Surprisingly well! For my team, at least, we’ve put a lot of work in since Paris to better handle the load of running so many events simultaneously, and it’s paying off in spades this year. Significantly less stressful than Paris thus far.
As a developer supporting the Olympics at CBC, thank you for the heart attack lol.
Thank you for your work. Hope it’s going well.

That’s good to hear. Any interesting tidbits of the process that the audience here may appreciate?
Thank you! I didn’t think I’d be able to watch the Olympics and I really enjoyed using cbc gem for the first time.
10/10, would recommend
