Inside StubHub's Engineering -- Architecture, Cloud Migration, and Scaling Challenges

This module dives deep into StubHub's technical architecture, covering the Google Cloud migration, the challenges of handling bursty traffic patterns for live events, and the surprising complexity behind the world's largest ticket marketplace. Candidates interviewing for engineering roles will learn about StubHub's tech stack (Java, Oracle, Google Cloud, Kubernetes, Solr, BigQuery), the 64% performance improvement from their cloud migration, and the system design challenges of serving 800K complex pages per hour with unpredictable traffic spikes. This is essential preparation for both system design interviews and demonstrating technical depth in behavioral rounds.
