‘Building a streaming platform from scratch gives more control’ is a myth. In reality ‘build’ entails engineering, infrastructure, maintenance, compliance, upgrades, scaling, etc with additional cost barriers and time restraints.

This webinar breaks down the real-world cost, time, and scalability implications of building vs buying a streaming platform, using a practical checklist approach.

The session will help businesses cut through common myths around custom development and understand why many modern streaming businesses choose SaaS platforms like Muvi One to launch faster, reduce risk, and scale globally—without hiring large tech teams.

 

Things the webinar would cover:

  1. What “building” a streaming platform actually involves today (engineering, infrastructure, maintenance, compliance, upgrades, scaling).
  2. The true cost of build vs buy, including hidden and long-term operational costs.
  3. Time-to-market realities like how long ‘buy’ vs ‘build’ realistically takes and the business impact of delayed launches.
  4. Scaling challenges across devices, geographies, and monetization models.
