Case Study: Mux simplifies video streaming and scales faster with CNCF Kubernetes

How cloud native technology helps Mux simplify online video streaming

Mux, a company specializing in online video streaming, faced challenges managing the complexity of its global data and video workflows. Their initial container orchestration solution using the Rancher stack led to stability and networking issues, and they needed a platform that could support a multi-cloud environment. To address this, they turned to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation's technology, specifically Kubernetes.

By implementing a self-managed Kubernetes solution from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, Mux achieved greater deployment productivity and dynamic scaling for large live events. The move significantly simplified their entire development workflow, reducing the time to spin up a development environment from hours to under 15 minutes and allowing them to roll their entire 90-microservice cluster across multiple cloud regions in less than an hour.
