Infrastructure Engineering Guides
Deep-dives from our engineers on bare metal architecture, streaming pipelines, DDoS hardening, and high-bandwidth network design.
How to Build a Production-Grade Streaming Server
A complete architectural guide covering hardware selection for 10Gbps unshared ports, codec pipeline choices (HLS vs MPEG-DASH), origin-edge topology, and failover strategies that keep your streams live under load.
IPTV Infrastructure at Global Scale
How Tier-IV facilities and direct IX peering cut delivery costs while holding 99.99% uptime. Covers multicast architecture, redundant origin setup, and CDN bypass techniques for sub-50ms latency.
Choosing Dedicated Hardware for High-Bandwidth Applications
Not all bare metal is equal. This guide breaks down NIC bonding, PCIe lane allocation, NUMA topology, and which CPU architectures sustain wire-speed throughput without kernel bypass tricks.
DDoS Protection for Media Streaming: What Actually Works
BGP blackholing, scrubbing centers, and anycast diffusion each have their place. We compare real-world attack mitigation techniques for volumetric floods against live-stream origin servers.
