For those in Brazil this will be a familiar story: Big Brother Brasil has broken all records for engagement in its current season.
Brazilians voted for their favorites this week, setting a new popularity benchmark and peaking at 2.988 million votes in a single minute and hundreds of millions of votes per day.
Working together with the hCaptcha Enterprise team, Globo (the media tech company behind Big Brother Brasil) was able to ensure that votes came from real people with minimal friction for voters, all at massive scale.
To further improve the user experience, Globo leveraged the unique Instant Verification feature of hCaptcha Enterprise to allow vote verification to occur with almost zero latency.
Designing for privacy from the ground up has many benefits, and for hCaptcha performance is one of them: thanks to minimized data retention and an edge-optimized design, the system scales to millions of requests per second on demand, easily supporting the world’s most popular online events.
