Case Study: ArtStation eliminates playback errors with Edgecast
A Edgecast Case Study
How a Streamlined Workflow Eliminated Playback Errors
ArtStation, the online portfolio and learning platform for artists, was struggling to deliver a smooth video experience as it relied on multiple providers for encoding, content delivery, and playback. This fragmented setup led to a 2% video start failure rate, frequent rebuffers, low sustained bit rates, and significant developer time spent on troubleshooting instead of core product work. Edgecast was brought in to simplify the workflow and improve streaming performance.
Edgecast consolidated ArtStation’s video stack into a single, pre-integrated solution covering encoding, transcoding, storage, management, DRM, the video player, and CDN delivery. The result was an almost immediate elimination of playback errors and rebuffers, plus a 5x improvement in video performance. With Edgecast, ArtStation also expanded to new endpoints like Chromecast, Apple TV, and connected TVs, released features faster, and grew premium subscription revenue.
