Are you building a video pipeline, or are you building a business? In 2026, the Infrastructure Trap is real.  💸 Too many brilliant R&D teams spend hundreds of thousands of dollars maintaining custom video stacks when that isn't their core business. 💸    If you’re in healthcare, public safety, or automotive tech, your value is in the services you provide to your industry, not debugging media server protocols. Read Don Kianian's deep dive on how OEMs are leveraging embedded video engines to reclaim their R&D focus and accelerate time-to-market. Stop building the plumbing. Start building the experience. 👉 https://lnkd.in/ghqmm3BJ #Wowza #WowzaStreamingEngine #OEM #developer #development #applications #appdev #developerrelations 

AI has made it incredibly easy to vibe code a functional prototype into existence. You prompt an LLM, grab an open-source library, and presto, you have a media server. Or do you?     As our latest blog explores, there is a massive difference between generating code and building a functional application.    ❌ Edge cases surface that only 15+ years of industry history can anticipate.  ❌ Protocol shifts (like CMAF or DRM standards) turn into a ticking clock of maintenance.   ❌ Scalability becomes a financial drain on your specialized human capital.     Don't let your media server become a distraction from your core business. Build on a foundation that has already chased the bugs for you. 🔗 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/g2596F5E #Wowza #WowzaStreamingEngine #vibecoding #mediaserver #videoserver #development #artificialintelligence #AIcoding #techdebt 

Jump in! We’re live in 2 hours! If you're managing a large video infrastructure with a lean team, this webinar is for you. You’ll hear directly from the Mississippi Department of Transportation about how they built a centralized system to manage 1,150+ traffic streams statewide, plus what it takes to support more automated and AI-driven monitoring moving forward. Starts soon. Sign up here: https://hubs.ly/Q046_MMh0 Co-hosted by Alex Gammelgard and Mike Vitale #GovTech #PublicSector #SmartCities #TrafficMonitoring #VideoStreaming

In this conversation with Roastbrief, Wowza CEO Krish Kumar gets into why video is shifting from something teams watch to something they act on. A few things we see from our customers: - Most organizations already have the cameras. The gap is turning those streams into usable data sources in real time. - Demand is shifting toward systems that extract signal from video and connect it to real workflows - alerts, escalation, response - not another screen to monitor. - In many environments, the video can’t leave. Analysis has to run on-prem or at the edge, which fundamentally changes how these systems get built. How are you handling this today? Are your teams monitoring video or acting on it?

Most companies treat video streaming server sizing as a guessing game. But here is the reality: ⬇️ Under-provisioned servers lead to dropped frames and service outages during peak demand. ⬆️ Over-provisioned servers bleed your budget without improving a single viewer's experience. The secret to scalable streaming isn't just power. It’s about balancing bandwidth, CPU, and storage. Right-sizing is essential for maintaining performance without skyrocketing costs. In our latest blog, we break down how to calculate the resources you need to handle real-world demand.  👉 Read it here: https://lnkd.in/gbCcYziT #Wowza #WowzaStreamingEngine #mediaserver #serversizing #bandwidth #memory #CPU #storage #streamingserver #videostreaming

Traffic camera networks are growing, but team sizes aren't. Next Tuesday, we're sitting down with the Mississippi Department of Transportation to show you exactly how they manage 1,150+ traffic camera streams. Automated, resilient, and with a lean team. You'll see the actual system they built, and we'll get into where AI fits into the picture next. Don't miss it! 🗓 Tuesday, March 24 | 10 AM MDT 🔗 Save your spot: https://hubs.ly/Q046_MMh0 Featuring: Mike Vitale, Alex Gammelgard, & Clint Johnson #DepartmentOfTransportation #DOT #SmartCities #TrafficManagement #PublicSafety #VideoInfrastructure #VideoStreaming #SystemArchitecture

Last week, the Wowza team took over Denver, CO for our 2026 Kickoff and it did not disappoint ⚡ We came together to align on strategy, set our sights on a big year, and strengthen the bonds that make this team so special. And of course, we had a little fun along the way, putting our competitive spirits to the test on a game show before teeing it up at Top Golf. Turns out the talent on this team goes well beyond office walls 🏌️ 🏆 Excited for what Wowza is going to accomplish in 2026. 📸 Photography by Steve Hostetler

As city camera networks grow from dozens to thousands, unreliable video feeds become a public safety risk. Traffic prediction models need continuous, high-resolution, low-latency video to accurately classify vehicles, detect incidents, and optimize signal timing in real time🚦 Discover why leading Traffic Management Systems rely on Wowza Streaming Engine to manage large-scale live camera feeds and power the future of urban mobility.

In the streaming world, we talk about "real-time" as the holy grail. But if you’re monitoring a remote oil rig or streaming wildlife from the bush, speed won't save a constantly-buffering stream. Modern streaming is a fundamental tension between two priorities:   1️⃣ Reliability & Resiliency: Keeping the stream alive when the network fails.  2️⃣ Latency & Responsiveness: The sub-second speed needed for immediate feedback. If delivering video late is worse than lower quality (think drone piloting), go for Latency. If an offline stream is a total failure (think industrial CCTV), go for Resiliency. Stop chasing generic benchmarks and start architecting for your specific mission. 🔗 Check out our latest deep dive on how to balance the trade-offs: https://lnkd.in/gMTWhAYD #Wowza #WowzaStreamingEngine #streamreliability #videotechnology #video #videostreaming #latency #resiliency #reliability
