WHERE THINGS BREAK
Critical media services rarely depend on one component. Outages and project delays often happen between playout, encoding, packaging, origin, CDN, monitoring, networks, vendors, workflows and human procedures.
Recurring broadcast or streaming incidents
OTT growth without enough monitoring
Failover procedures undocumented or untested
Legacy infrastructure with unclear dependencies
Vendor proposals difficult to validate
Engineering knowledge concentrated in few people
Project assurance
A compact 3-5 day engagement for a specific project moment: a launch, migration, handover, vendor proposal, service change or operational concern. It clarifies what must be true for the solution to be supportable, observable and recoverable after delivery.
