50,000+ concurrent viewers supported with 99.95% stream uptime and 40% CDN cost reduction.
A media company producing live and on-demand content was using a cobbled-together stack of third-party tools for streaming. Video quality was inconsistent, buffering complaints were frequent, and CDN costs were growing 20% quarter-over-quarter with no optimization in sight.
We built a custom streaming platform with adaptive bitrate delivery via HLS, automated video transcoding through AWS MediaConvert, a global CDN strategy with intelligent edge caching, and a content management system for editorial teams. The player supports multi-device playback with analytics on viewer engagement.
50,000+ concurrent viewers supported during live events
Stream uptime improved to 99.95%
CDN costs reduced by 40% through intelligent caching
Average buffering events dropped by 78%
“Our viewers noticed the difference immediately. Fewer buffering complaints, better quality on mobile, and our live events actually stay live. The CDN savings were a bonus.”
