World’s Leading Live Streaming Platform

Veeps is the world’s leading streaming platform for live music and entertainment where fans can connect with their favorite artists through live and on-demand concerts, comedy shows, and more.

Veeps has been named a Fast Company World’s Most Innovative Company, nominated for an Emmy, and holds the Guinness World Record for the world’s largest ticketed livestream performance.

Challenges and Solutions

  • Cost Increase With Multiple Clouds

    Reduced operational overhead by consolidating and migrating the infrastructure of 5+ applications with 500TB+ of data and ran on multiple clouds, to AWS.

  • Live Streaming Platform Missing Features

    The Livestream/VOD platform being used was missing key features that aligned with company goals. A solution that was built to replace it included AWS Elemental and custom built APIs.

  • Scaling Limits | 1K to 100K+ Users in Minutes

    Implemented scalable, event-driven architecture with autoscaling groups and CDN optimization to improve the streaming experience and control infrastructure costs.

    Reliable media pipeline for real-time content

    Implemented an automated, event-driven media pipeline for content ingestion, processing, and delivery for efficient show operations from end to end.

Proposed Solution and Architecture

To deliver high-quality live concerts to fans, Veeps used the following AWS services:

Mobile Application Development
AWS CloudFront

CloudFront is a global content delivery network (CDN) that accelerates online video streaming. It securely caches and delivers video content from AWS Elemental to end users, reducing latency and ensuring a smooth viewing experience. It scales dynamically and integrates seamlessly with other AWS services for optimized video delivery.

Offline Capabilities
MediaConnect

Used to transmit live streams from the venue to the cloud for further processing. This allows for the buffering of live feeds and enables support for protocols such as SRT. Also, its use allows for N+1 transcoders for greater redundancy. This ultimately provides a secure, reliable, and low-latency connection between the concert venue and the cloud.

UI/UX Overhaul
MediaConvert

For transcoding the live streams received from MediaLive. It transcodes the streams into multiple output formats, which can be delivered to different devices and platforms. In addition, harvest jobs are enabled to ingest into Veep’s Video on Demand (VOD) service.

UI/UX Overhaul
MediaPackage

This service is used to package and deliver live streams to viewers. It provides a single endpoint for streaming the concert, which can be easily integrated into Veeps' platform.
