Problem overview
Free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) service owned and operated by the Paramount Streaming division of Paramount Global. Based in Los Angeles, California, app is available in the Americas and Europe. It primarily offers programming content through digital linear channels, aiming to recreate the traditional broadcast programming experience.
The service generates revenue from video advertisements displayed during programming within commercial breaks, similar to conventional television. Client licenses its content directly from providers. As of March 2020, it dealt with 170 content partners, providing users access to over 250 channels and an impressive 100,000 hours of unique programming.
With all the awesome channels and heaps of unique shows Client has to offer, it was clear they needed a supercharged setup to keep everything running smoothly. That's when Brightgrove stepped in.
We saw Client’s challenges and helped guide them on an exciting tech adventure. With our expertise, we transitioned Client to a cloud-native architecture on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Due to Brightgrove's invaluable assistance, Client is now equipped with a powerhouse platform that not only ensures seamless content delivery but can also evolve with their ever-expanding content library.

The migration initiative was started in the past with a meticulous and strategic plan crafted by our team of professionals. They comprehensively assessed their existing monolithic system, identifying key components suitable for decomposition into microservices. Brightgrove's technical team adopted an incremental approach, developing and validating each microservice before moving on to the next phase of the migration.
As AWS offered a comprehensive suite of cloud services, we chose AWS as Client’s future cloud provider.
Leveraging AWS's managed services, we streamlined the deployment and management of their cloud infrastructure, allowing our development teams to focus on building and refining their microservices.
To bolster the security of its cloud environment, we involved AWS security experts. They implemented various security measures, including encryption at rest, network access controls, and identity and access management (IAM) policies. This ensured that sensitive data was protected and access to resources was tightly controlled.
We have leveraged AWS's automated backup and disaster recovery features which proved instrumental in strengthening the company’s disaster recovery planning. By leveraging AWS's redundant data storage and failover capabilities, we significantly reduced the potential for data loss and system downtime, ensuring business continuity despite unexpected events.

Phased migration
Similar to successful migration strategies, we opted for a phased approach, transitioning from a monolithic architecture to a micro-services-based cloud infrastructure in incremental steps. This approach allowed us to validate each micro service’s functionality and performance before moving forward, reducing the risk of migration issues.
