Riding the Wave of Over The Top Video Streaming

Streaming Forum 2018 Conference Keynote

Often in technology, in order to move forward, we need to look at where we have been.

Yesterday, I was invited to present the keynote at the Streaming Forum conference in London and described how we are moving from an appliance-based architecture to a containerised based architecture.

For example with our old platform, it would take up to 4 weeks to configure, test and launch new live channels compared to minutes with our new platform.

Another important aspect of this change is to break away from being attached to equipment and offered the Pets versus Cattle analogy with the emergence of Streaming DevOps being the merging of two skill sets to optimise the video workflow.

One area, that I did not have time to discuss was the cultural changes that needed to happen to make Streaming DevOps a reality. We’ve worked really hard to integrate Streaming engineers and DevOps engineering together so that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. This means that engineers now have time for research and development to enhance our services. This is critical to success as we need to be able to see the whole forest and not just the trees.

Streaming Media Global published a review of the keynote, which can be found here.

I’d like to thank Eric Schumacher-Rasmussen for inviting me to speak and Dom Robinson of Streaming Media for an interesting panel discussion.

Streaming Forum 2018 Keynote: Part 5 – Why Should We Care About Video Quality

In the lead up to the Streaming Forum 2018 conference, I wrote a series of five articles describing some of the challenges of reliably delivering a live streaming service at scale for millions of customers every day.

The fifth and final article about Why should we care about video quality was published coding on the Streaming Media Europe website on 15th January here.

I hope you enjoy reading it and look forward to hearing your comments.
