Convesio’s scalability is also ideal for managing recurring events without performance issues.

Hosting Configuration

This can be done quickly: our platform was designed to handle scaling events and manage event details efficiently.

Event Days and Event Calendars

Convesio will scale up when needed and down again when as attendees leave the event. Automatically. Convesio supports event organizers by ensuring smooth operations during the event.

Pro Support

We monitor infrastructure KPIs 24/7 and our team is on standby if there are any issues.

How it Works

How Convesio Scales During Virtual Events

When an event kicks off, you get hundreds, if not thousands of users trying to register, log in or run functionality all at the same time. Convesio’s platform can handle the surge in traffic related to event tickets sales and management. WordPress will fall over unless your hosting can scale.

  • STEP 1
  • 1. Pre and post event: WordPress runs on the minimum number of containers

    Think of a container as a mini VPS with its own dedicated resources. With Convesio, you can set the minimum and maximum numbers of containers to run on in the Dashboard.

    When traffic is low before and after an event, Convesio will run on the minimum number of containers. This means you are not using and paying for capacity you don’t need. Convesio also optimizes the event page to ensure it runs efficiently before and after the event.

  • STEP 2
  • 2. A surge in traffic triggers scaling. More containers deploy to share the load

    With each additional container you 2x, 3X, 4X, etc… your resources, so WordPress keeps running fast.

    Convesio scales up automatically to handle handful to thousands of concurrent users, and back down when the event has concluded. The additional capacity if charged by the hour and is capped too. Convesio’s platform can also manage increased ticket sales during traffic surges, ensuring smooth event ticketing and registration processes.

  • STEP 3
  • 3. WordPress scales across clusters of servers

    This is called horizontal scaling and difficult to achieve with a traditional VPS set up (and very expensive too).

    If an event attracts a particularly high level of attendees and extra containers fill capacity of a physical server, additional ones deploy to other ones. Convesio also supports Events Calendar Pro for advanced event management features.
