We just published www.filathlos.gr and www.kontranews.gr on Drupal 8!
The websites have more than 7 million page views per month and are hosted on a high availability cluster with Nginx servers. The websites target the Greek sportnews and news market respectively and both are in the top 200 websites in Greece (according to Alexa).
What is impressive, is that we don't use any other cache other than Drupal 8's internal cache (moved on memcache)!
We also had to migrate more than 60.000 articles from the previous platform. The previous platform used was Joomla and the user experience for the journalists who write on the websites has increased dramatically!

Fantastic
It'll definitely boost potential client's confidence in using Drupal8 for high traffic websites. Thanks Yannis for sharing this vital info.
Great compliment on D8
Great compliment on D8 internal caching! Relying on the internal cache only would make deployments easier.
Please make sure to publish any future findings/observations regarding the performance of these sites in this queue.

Hi, thanks for sharing that
Hi, thanks for sharing that info, I'm looking to implement the core caching also big pipe to help the render.
I'm wonder how did you solve the global redirect. Are you using some custom module to achieve this?
