Overview
Meridian is a media platform processing and delivering 2M+ monthly video streams across multiple continents. They needed real-time transcoding, adaptive bitrate delivery, and global CDN coverage — all without building a dedicated infrastructure team. EEv3's media pipeline handles everything from ingest to viewer analytics.

The Challenge
Global scale, zero buffering
Processing and delivering 2M+ monthly video streams with real-time transcoding, adaptive bitrate, and global CDN coverage is the kind of problem that usually requires a dedicated infrastructure team of 20+ engineers.
Meridian's viewers span every continent. Buffering, startup latency, and quality drops directly translate to churn. They needed sub-2-second startup, adaptive quality, and 24/7 reliability — with a team of 5.
The Solution
From upload to global delivery
EEv3's media pipeline handles the entire lifecycle: ingest, transcode to multiple bitrates, generate thumbnails, and push to 50+ edge CDN locations. Adaptive bitrate streaming means every viewer gets the best quality their connection can handle — bandwidth usage dropped 68% compared to fixed-quality delivery.
Real-time analytics through ee.analytics tracks viewer engagement, buffer ratios, and quality-of-experience scores. The engineering team monitors everything from one dashboard, not a patchwork of vendor UIs.

"Our viewers don't buffer. Our engineers don't wake up at 3am. EEv3 handles both."
