On-site Video Capturing & Encoding
Crew on the ground • Capture the event on camera
• Managed by a production team
• Decide on angles, shots, duration etc.
Onsite encoders • Compress raw feed from camera to be
sent to the streaming server
• Typically hardware based
High bandwidth link to the closest AWS region • Single stream sent at high bandwidth
• Multiple streams of different bit rates sent

Dynamic Nature of Events
Live Streaming setup should be able to scale massively • Ability to handle flash crowds
• Shield origin servers from the spikes
• Ensure every single viewer gets the best experience
Infrastructure should be cost efficient • Sporadic nature of events but need to plan for maximum number of
users
• Extremely cost-inefficient when using in-house infrastructure
• Penalty for running over planned capacity is costly
Viewers might come from anywhere • Need points of presence all over the globe
