Bitmovin insights¶
Multi-tenant data analytics on top of billions of records.
About
Bitmovin is a leading video streaming company that built the world’s first commercial adaptive streaming player and deployed the first software-defined encoding service that runs on any cloud platform.
The use-case of Bitmovin illustrates why traditional databases are incapable of handling so many data records while keeping them all available for querying in real time.
CrateDB enables use cases we couldn’t satisfy with other database systems, also with databases which are even stronger focused on the time series domain.
CrateDB is not your normal database!
