Case Study: Vidyard achieves scalable, secure, high-performance video delivery with Amazon Web Services

Vidyard - Customer Case Study

Vidyard is a business video platform that hosts content, provides detailed viewer analytics, and integrates engagement data with CRM and other systems. The company faced challenges around ensuring seamless large-file uploads and fast playback, supporting rapid customer growth, handling massive live‑streaming traffic spikes, and maintaining strong security and compliance for private and public video content.

Vidyard launched on AWS—using Amazon EC2 for compute, Amazon S3 for storage, Amazon RDS and Amazon Elasticsearch Service for data, OpsWorks for container orchestration, and an Amazon VPC for security—which delivered up to 30% faster uploads, on‑demand scaling for growth and live events, consistent global playback, and inherited AWS security assurances. The result is simplified operations, reliable performance under peak loads, and the flexibility to adopt new services as the business expands.
