Case Study: Catalog achieves scalable streaming music platform with Northflank

Catalog saves 1000+ hours with Northflank

Catalog, a company building a self-publishing and audience engagement platform for artists, faced the challenge of creating a scalable backend for its music streaming service. Their complex workloads, including CPU-intensive transcoding and high-bandwidth streaming, required a flexible solution that could leverage their existing cloud credits. They found traditional PaaS offerings and raw Kubernetes to be insufficient for their needs, leading them to seek a vendor like Northflank.

By implementing Northflank's managed Kubernetes platform with Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC), Catalog gained a robust and developer-friendly solution. This provided support for specialized workloads like HLS streaming and ReadWriteMany volumes, integrated CI/CD pipelines, and seamless CDN log integration. The results were significant, with Northflank saving Catalog an estimated six months of engineering time and enabling them to launch their product efficiently while maintaining top-tier performance for their streaming service.
