Case Study: Telefónica achieves faster video playback and 50M hits/day scalability with Couchbase Server

Providing faster video playback and better viewer experiences

Telefónica, a global telecommunications company, needed to deliver internet TV, voice, and video-on-demand across multiple Latin American countries while providing a superior viewer experience on browsers, iOS, Android, set-top boxes and smart TVs. The firm also had to manage a complex, growing video catalog and scale reliably to meet heavy demand.

By running its global video platform on Couchbase Server as an in-memory caching layer, Telefónica achieved highly scalable performance and fast playback, supporting 50 million hits per day. Couchbase acts as the global cache for all user interactions, enabling on-demand scaling and consistent, high-quality viewing across devices.
