- 5 managed services in production

Highlights
What we built.
Media pipeline
Presigned uploads, C++ workers on libvips and FFmpeg, responsive variants and a global CDN at cdn.xlambda.tech.
Live streaming
RTMP, RTMPS, SRT and WHIP ingest, played back as HLS or sub-second WebRTC (WHEP).
Managed data
PostgreSQL with pgbouncer pooling and backups, and Redis with sub-users, provisioned in seconds.
Email as a service
Resend-compatible sending, DKIM/SPF/DMARC set-up and inbound mail delivered straight to your webhook.
