Video Streaming Web App

The Challenge

The customer needed to reduce operational costs and modernize their video streaming web application by moving it to the cloud. Beyond cost optimization, the solution had to deliver improved performance, resiliency, and disaster recovery capabilities. Multi-region deployment was critical to minimize latency and ensure business continuity.

The Approach

• Conducted a full assessment of the existing on-premises environment, which relied on VMs and SQL servers.
• Designed both high-level and detailed target architectures, including cost estimates to guide decision-making.
• Implemented the solution in paired regions using an active-passive model, with optimized resource allocation in the backup region to balance resiliency and cost efficiency.
• Leveraged Azure Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offerings, including:
  • App Service, SQL Database, Front Door, Storage, and other supporting services.

The Results

• Achieved $180,000 annual savings through cloud migration and optimized resource usage.
• Delivered significant performance improvements, reducing latency and enhancing user experience.
• Increased customer satisfaction thanks to a more reliable and responsive streaming service.
