The BBC has teams of journalists writing news stories in more than 40 languages.
That’s a lot of stories in a lot of languages.
So we’ve built a tool to make it easy to monitor what’s being published.

Mainstream machine translation tools can struggle to translate some languages.
So we work with @GoURMET_MT to improve the accuracy in languages like Serbian and Swahili.
We used GoURMET in our new dashboard of translated BBC stories.

I’m reading about how BBC Online uses serverless — nice!!
1. Traffic management done on EC2 on AWS, handing 10K req/sec.
2. Website rendering layer: server side React, typically on 2000 AWS Lambdas.
Page loads are so fast!
