Case Study: GrowthSchool boosts video engagement and scales streaming with Gumlet

Here’s how GrowthSchool aced the scaling test

GrowthSchool, an e-learning platform with over 6.5 million learners, faced significant scaling challenges with its previous video provider, Vimeo. Their obstacles included a prohibitive pricing model, a 36% increase in bandwidth expenses due to poor compression, serious playback issues on mobile devices, and limited options for customizing the learner experience as they aimed to host over 100,000 videos.

By switching to Gumlet, GrowthSchool found a solution. Gumlet provided a predictable pricing plan, migrated all content in under two weeks with zero downtime, and delivered automatic optimization for buffer-free playback. This resulted in a 52% increase in video completion rates, 150% growth in video consumption, and a 41% reduction in streaming bandwidth, saving 36% on cloud spend and future-proofing their platform for continued growth.
