<\/div>\n\n\n\nKeynote<\/u><\/h2>\n\n\n\nEngineering and operating a large-scale OTT service \u2013 a view from the Streaming Industry<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The streaming industry has undergone a huge growth over the last few years with all big content providers now providing also streaming services and making streaming the way most people consume content in many countries. In this keynote, we will take a look at data from the market and how streaming keeps evolving.<\/p>\n
But if content is the main driver for where people consume content, technology is also an essential enabler and the best product experiences and the best reliable technologies can lead to big differences in how customers engage with these services, how many customers it can reach, how broad the repertoire of content can be and how frequently people use the service, which are fundamental metrics of the business model of streaming providers.<\/p>\n
We will take a look at the engineering of OTT services from content acquisition and customer acquisition to distribution, product experience, personalization, discovery of content and ultimately playback.<\/p>\n
Although most technology components are well known, there are still many challenges on running a large-scale streaming system across the world and we will discuss some of those challenges in this keynote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
