Case Study: Vidio achieves real-time scalability and low-latency streaming with Aiven

Aiven supercharges streaming giant Vidio’s engineering teams

Vidio, Indonesia’s leading video streaming service with over 60 million monthly active users, faced critical challenges delivering low-latency, customized streaming during high-traffic events. Their engineers were spending too much time on database management, which caused scalability bottlenecks and customer complaints during live sports and large events, so they turned to Aiven for a managed database solution.

Aiven delivered fully managed PostgreSQL and Redis along with on-demand read replicas, DR/ETL replicas and single-click deployments, letting Vidio spin up databases in minutes and add replicas in two clicks. As a result Vidio handled massive spikes (15x traffic over a few hours) and rapid subscriber growth (3x in April), scaled replicas in near real time (HAProxy picks them up in under 10 seconds), accelerated feature rollout, reduced customer issues, and benefited from Aiven’s responsive support.
