Streaming Platform Architecture Review
What This Engagement Covers
OTT platforms accumulate technical debt quietly. A CDN configuration that worked at 10K concurrent streams becomes a liability at 300K. A DRM integration that shipped in 2019 may not meet today’s studio requirements. A microservice boundary that made sense at launch now creates coordination drag across six teams.
This engagement is a structured, expert-led assessment of where your platform stands today — and where the real risks are hiding.
-
Architecture Assessment
End-to-end review of your streaming stack: ingest, encoding, packaging, CDN, DRM, metadata, player, and device layers. Focus on scalability ceilings, vendor dependencies, and single points of failure.
-
Risk Report
Written findings ranked by severity — with enough technical depth to act on, and enough plain-English framing to share with a board or investment committee.
-
Recommendations
Prioritized remediation roadmap with effort estimates, sequencing rationale, and a frank assessment of build-vs-buy decisions.
Who This Is For
This engagement is best suited for:
- Startups and growth-stage companies pre-Series B who need to understand what it will take to scale from current load to 10× or 100×.
- Established operators who want an independent architectural perspective before a major platform re-platform or vendor consolidation.
- Investors and acquirers who want an architecture-level view of what they’re buying or funding — not just a security scan.
