Project Summary

A sports livestreaming platform engaged Softobiz to diagnose and fix infrastructure bottlenecks. Softobiz resolved CMS, code, database, server and CDN issues and optimized AWS Auto Scaling, which substantially reduced hosting costs. However, they could not resolve core streaming problems because their expertise was in Wowza Streaming Cloud rather than Wowza Streaming Engine. The engagement ran from August to October 2020.

Key Challenges

  • Need for Wowza Streaming Engine expertise to handle streams exceeding 1,000 viewers.
  • High AWS hosting costs that required optimization and Auto Scaling tuning.

Project Deliverables

  • CMS fixes
  • Code fixes
  • AWS Auto Scaling configuration and optimization
  • CDN optimization and server configuration
  • Database and server infrastructure fixes

Project Solution

Softobiz audited the client's infrastructure to find bottlenecks, performed CMS and code fixes, implemented and tuned AWS Auto Scaling, and optimized the CDN and server configuration. They also worked on database and server infrastructure remediation. They were unable to resolve the platform's Wowza Streaming Engine issues because their experience was with Wowza Streaming Cloud rather than Wowza Streaming Engine.

Project Outcome

  • Reduced the client's AWS bill from $20,000 per month to $12,000 per month.
  • Resolved database and server infrastructure issues and improved CDN performance.
  • Could not resolve Wowza Streaming Engine streaming issues due to lack of vendor expertise in that product.
  • Vendor performed some additional tasks free of charge, improving overall value.

Quality of Deliverables

“Thanks to the team's cloud expertise, the client's AWS bill went down by $4,000. However, Softobiz Technologies didn't have the skills to solve the client's streaming issues. Although the team could've been more transparent, they made the project as fruitful as possible, which was appreciated.”
