Media and sports platforms built for scale, streaming, and live moments
High-scale media and sports platforms built to perform under load and in real time — streaming, live-event data, content workflows, and fan engagement.
Challenges we solve for media teams
The pressure points that separate a media product from one that survives a live event.
Live streaming under load
Concurrent audiences that overwhelm origins, CDNs, and player logic exactly when the event matters most.
Content moderation at scale
User-generated content that has to be reviewed quickly enough to protect the platform and the community.
Real-time stats delivery
Sports data pipelines that have to deliver stats and updates to millions of clients within seconds.
Content personalization
Recommendations that stay relevant as catalog, region, and engagement patterns change every day.
DRM & licensing complexity
DRM, geo-restrictions, and licensing windows that vary per title and per region.
Multi-device delivery
Consistent playback experience across web, mobile, TV, and console with different codecs and constraints.
