Ask HN: How would you build the Paycheck Protection Program website?

The PPP website went down again yesterday due to load. Let's say you worked at the Small Business Administration, and you were tasked with building the website.

The hard part: You've only got a week to build it, you know demand will be crazy.

The good news: Normal "process" is thrown out and you can do whatever you want. It just has to work.

What would you do, software and architecture wise?

PS - No, I do not work at the SBA and this isn't a hidden plea for help.
