Media: Re-architecting a VOD Platform for Scale
Helping a regional streaming service handle 1M+ concurrent users.
The Challenge
S.A was crashing during major sports events. Their legacy PHP backend couldn't handle the concurrency. Additionally, user retention was low because the recommendation engine was generic.
The Solution
GTEMAS deployed a team of Go (Golang) experts. We rewrote the core session management and API layer in Go for high concurrency. We optimized the transcoding pipeline using AWS MediaConvert to reduce file sizes without quality loss. We also deployed a personalized recommendation microservice.
Architectural Strategy
Microservices using gRPC for low-latency internal comms. Multi-CDN strategy to optimize delivery costs.
Impact & Achievements
The robust platform allowed S.A to secure exclusive rights for the World Cup, knowing they could handle the traffic spike.
