Case Study: SonyLIV achieves scalable live and on-demand streaming across India with AWS Elemental

SonyLIV Delivers Live and on-demand Content Across India With AWS

SonyLIV, a major video-on-demand and live streaming platform in India, needed a scalable way to deliver more than 30,000 hours of content and 15,000 hours of sports programming to over 100 million consumers across many devices and languages. It relied on AWS Elemental services to support fast, reliable streaming as its audience and content library kept growing.

AWS Elemental implemented MediaConvert for on-demand transcoding, MediaLive for live encoding, MediaPackage for packaging, and CloudFront for delivery, with QVBR and Accelerated Transcoding improving efficiency and speed. SonyLIV reported lower storage and CDN transfer costs, better streaming quality, and dramatically faster video processing, helping the service scale quickly as demand expanded.
