The anatomy of a modern stream
Capture, transcode, package, and distribute—each step must stay in sync. Low-latency protocols (LL-HLS, WebRTC) matter for sports, while VOD libraries lean on object storage and just-in-time packaging.
Personalization at scale
Metadata graphs, watch-history signals, and editorial playlists combine to surface the next episode users expect. Responsible experimentation balances novelty with brand safety.
Operational resilience
Chaos testing origin clusters, multi-CDN failover, and client-side retry logic keep premiere nights smooth when millions press play simultaneously.
