Case Study: Atresmedia achieves low-latency, scalable streaming with Fastly

Atresmedia - Customer Case Study

Atresmedia, one of Spain’s leading media and entertainment groups, needed to scale its streaming services for live events like sports finals and elections while avoiding latency, downtime, and unpredictable traffic spikes. It turned to Fastly’s edge cloud network and Media Shield to support its Atresplayer platforms and deliver a broadcast-like experience for viewers.

Fastly implemented a flexible, highly scalable CDN approach that cached more content at the edge, reduced origin requests, and enabled instant configuration changes through UI and API. The results included lower live-streaming latency, stronger performance during traffic spikes, real-time visibility, and a 60% reduction in origin access costs, while also cutting geoblocking complexity in half.
