Case Study: Horn achieves reliable live audio and video streaming at scale with Akka

Horn scales live streaming from 10 to hundreds with Akka

Horn, a provider of live audio and video streaming, needed a platform capable of delivering reliable, high-performance streams for diverse environments like online learning and telehealth. The challenge was to serve these streams on demand with zero lag or degradation, despite unpredictable bandwidth needs and strong user expectations for quality.

Using the Akka Agentic AI Platform, Horn built a solution where each streaming session is managed as an autonomous agent. This implementation from Akka allowed Horn to scale seamlessly from 10 to hundreds of users with zero degradation, embed functionality for customers in minutes, and operate with zero performance issues, enabling enterprises to deploy custom streaming solutions.
