Typical use cases
Traditional broadcaster launching a direct-to-consumer OTT service
A media group with an existing content library wants to stream directly to audiences without relying on third-party platforms. They come to us when they need to make concrete decisions on DRM, CDN architecture, and subscription billing — and lack the internal engineering depth to own those choices.
VoD platform engineering for a scheduled high-traffic event
A video-on-demand service faces a predictable but extreme traffic spike — a sports final, a live concert, a breaking news stream — and the current infrastructure won't hold. They reach out when downtime has a direct, quantifiable revenue and reputational cost.
Ad-supported broadcaster moving content online
A free-to-air broadcaster wants to distribute content digitally while maintaining an advertising revenue model. They engage us when they need server-side ad insertion and header bidding integrated without compromising stream quality or breaching premium inventory policies.
Digital-first subscription platform with a churn problem
A streaming platform has paying subscribers but is losing them faster than it acquires them. They contact us when they need behavioral data connected to recommendation logic and want to identify exactly where the retention model is breaking down.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work with existing streaming platforms or only greenfield builds?
Both. On existing platforms, we work on specific pain points — CDN configuration, SSAI integration, recommendation engine performance — without a full rewrite. On greenfield projects, we define the stack from scratch. Our starting point is always the actual problem, not the project scope.
How do you handle multi-DRM across smart TVs, mobile, and web?
We implement Widevine, FairPlay, and PlayReady based on your target device matrix. Integration covers both the player layer and the license server, with CDN configured to protect manifests. We'll tell you upfront whether your current player supports this or needs to be replaced — before any work starts.
Can you handle unpredictable traffic spikes without permanent over-provisioning?
Yes, using cloud-native auto-scaling and multi-origin CDN. The real engineering challenge is scaling latency and failover behavior during the first seconds of a spike, not the peak capacity itself. We've instrumented this for live events before and can show you the monitoring setup.
How long does it take to integrate a recommendation engine on a live platform?
It depends on the state of your behavioral data. If tracking is already structured and clean, a working first model is achievable in six to ten weeks. If the data pipeline needs rebuilding, that phase comes first. We scope only after reviewing your current data infrastructure.
Do you support hybrid monetization — subscriptions alongside advertising?
Yes. We build architectures where subscription management and SSAI coexist: free-tier users get server-side ads, paying subscribers don't. The complexity is in rights segmentation and ensuring ad delivery never degrades the experience for premium users. We've built this before and can walk you through the tradeoffs.
