Moog Music: Staying online when Google doodles you

This post details how Cloudflare's Page Rules and advanced caching capabilities were used to handle a massive traffic surge for MoogMusic.com due to a Google doodle. By configuring Page Rules to 'Cache Everything' for static portions of the site, Cloudflare was able to serve approximately 92% of requests directly from its edge infrastructure, significantly reducing the load on the origin VPS and reducing bandwidth by over 90%. This demonstrates the effectiveness of edge caching for handling unpredictable traffic spikes.
