USA Swimming

 USA Swimming's website for members and non-members offers education, marketing resources, training tips, news, events details, competition results, ticketing information and videos. Unfortunately, the website was having trouble handling visitor traffic loads during peak times such as the Olympic Trials and the Olympic Games in the Olympics prior to 2024.

USA Swimming engaged the experts at Visus LLC, a Progress Sitefinity Premier Partner, for help. Visus upgraded the USA Swimming website to the latest supported version of Progress Sitefinity content management system, leverage the .NET Core renderer for performance, migrated the website from on-premises hosting to Microsoft Azure platform-as-a-service, set up a continuous delivery workflow using Azure's DevOps pipelines, implemented an autoscaling solution in Azure to handle burst workloads resulting from high website traffic, and other improvements including integrating USA Swimming’s proprietary membership and times database with the website.

The result, the new site seamlessly handled peak traffic with millions of visitors without any crashes or slow load times.

During the 2024 Olympic Trials and Olympic Games, USA Swimming’s visitor traffic doubled over 2021. The new solution leverages the latest version of Sitefinity including the ASP.NET Core renderer, ASP.NET Core pages and Microsoft’s Azure Platform as a Service which automatically scales to accommodate burst workloads.
