Live television that scales to millions

We helped Streamvue build a live and on-demand video platform that keeps its picture crisp and its latency low whether a hundred people are watching or a million.

Overview

Great content, buffering at the worst moment

Streamvue's audience was growing faster than its infrastructure could handle. Big live moments — exactly when it mattered most — meant buffering, drops, and refunds. They needed delivery that got stronger under load, not weaker.

Highlights

  • Adaptive bitrate delivery that holds quality across every network
  • A live pipeline engineered for sudden, spiky audience surges
  • A unified player shared across web, mobile, and TV
  • Real-time quality-of-experience monitoring on every stream

Rebuffer rate

01

The challenge

Live streaming punishes every weak link. A spike in viewers can't turn into a spike in buffering, and quality has to hold on a phone in a tunnel as well as a fiber connection at home.

02

Our approach

We built an adaptive-bitrate pipeline with edge delivery and aggressive caching, a single cross-platform player, and QoE telemetry that lets the team see and fix problems in real time.

03

The outcome

Streamvue now carries seven-figure concurrent audiences with three-second latency and a fraction of the rebuffering — big live nights are a growth event, not an outage.

What we built
