THE CHALLENGE
YourBackers needed a video platform with live delivery, content management and multi-device playback — launched on a fixed date, with buffering treated as a bug, not a network fact of life.
WHAT WE DID
- Adaptive delivery first. HLS with per-segment bitrate switching, so playback degrades to a lower resolution instead of stalling.
- A CMS the editors could run. Publishing, scheduling and access control without an engineer in the loop.
- One player, every screen. A single web player abstraction across desktop, mobile web and TV browsers.
SECURITY & SCALE
Signed URLs and short-lived tokens on every stream; origin shielded behind a CDN. Load-tested to [TO CONFIRM] concurrent viewers before launch.
