I’m just pointing out that there are Netflix engineers reading all these words.
For every thread like this, there are likely people who are readers but cannot be writers, even though they know a lot. That means the active posters exclude that group, by definition.
These threads often have interesting and insightful comments, so that’s cool.
At the scale that Netflix just dealt with? Yeah I honestly think this is a case where less than 5000 people in the world are really qualified to comment.
Not clear what scale they were attempting, but yes delivering a live stream to 10m+ users on the public internet with a reasonable end to end latency (under 30 seconds glass to viewer) is not a trivial problem, and it’s not something Netflix do a lot.
It’s a very different problem to distributing video on demand which is Netflix’s core business.
That’s a bold claim given that people with inside knowledge could post here without disclosing they are insiders.
Is that some kind of No True Scotsman?
