What CTOs Say About Our Go Teams

“We needed Go concurrency mastery for our live channels.”
Smartbrain delivered a vetted engineer in 48 hours. She optimised gRPC pipelines, trimming buffer build-up and delivering a real-world latency drop of 52 %. Integration was painless and our DevOps team kept sprint velocity.

Emily Carter

CTO

WaveCast Networks

Our shift from monolith to microservices stalled until Smartbrain’s Go specialist arrived. Within a week he containerised the transcoding service, added Prometheus metrics and enabled blue-green deploys. Release cadence doubled and viewer churn fell 14 %.

Michael Hughes

VP Engineering

StreamSphere Media

The pre-vetted Go duo slotted into our Kanban board overnight, delivering DRM token service in sprint one. No onboarding drag, just pull requests with rock-solid unit coverage. Our marketing team launched pay-per-view two months ahead of plan.

BrightPlay Sports

Black Friday streams used to crash. Smartbrain’s engineer re-wrote cache layers with Go, Redis and CQRS. Peak traffic survived 3× previous load while CPU stayed under 60 %. Support tickets almost disappeared.

Daniel Brooks

Operations Director

ShopStream TV

We needed GDPR logging and immutable audit trails. Smartbrain’s Go consultant integrated OpenTelemetry and object storage archiving in days. Audit preparation dropped from weeks to hours and secured our next funding round.

Instead of hiring four FTEs we onboarded two Smartbrain developers. Thanks to Go’s lightweight goroutines they delivered equal throughput, saving 38 % in payroll while keeping our SLA at 99.98 % uptime.

Industries We Serve

OTT & VOD

OTT & VOD Platforms
Augmented Go engineers build adaptive-bitrate pipelines, integrate HLS/DASH packagers, and orchestrate Kubernetes clusters that scale to millions of viewers. With deep Media Streaming Platform Backend Development know-how, they optimise transcoding queues, manage DRM keys, and plug in edge-cache invalidation for seamless playback across Japan’s bandwidth-diverse regions.

Live Sports

Live Sports Streaming
Go specialists craft ultra-low-latency ingest services, synchronise multi-camera feeds, and push real-time score updates using WebSocket and gRPC. Outstaffing lets leagues spin up event-specific teams for playoffs or world cups, then scale down once the last whistle blows—controlling costs without sacrificing viewer experience.

E-Learning

Online Education
Universities and MOOC providers rely on augmented Go developers to deliver lecture capture, interactive quizzes, and secure video APIs. The team implements token-based authorization, segment encryption, and analytics dashboards so educators see watch-through rates while students enjoy buffer-free lessons.

Gaming & Esports

Gaming & Esports
Fast-paced tournaments demand high concurrency. Go microservices power spectator modes, chat overlays, and highlight reels. Outstaffed talent fine-tunes event-driven architectures and Kafka pipelines, keeping lag under 100 ms during peak audience spikes.

Publishing

News & Publishing
Media houses stream live press briefings and on-demand documentaries. Our engineers insert server-side ads, implement caption workflows, and ensure SEO-friendly video sitemaps—monetising content while maintaining rock-solid uptime.

Music Streaming

Music Streaming
High-throughput Go backends handle playlist curation, rights management and personalised radio. The augmented model brings DSP expertise without long-term payroll commitments, allowing labels to test new markets quickly.

Video Calls

Video Conferencing
From telehealth to remote work, Go engineers create SFU/MCU servers, implement TURN/ICE traversal and add AI-driven noise suppression. Outstaffing covers spikes in demand for major product launches.

Ad Tech

Ad Tech & MarTech
Programmatic video ads require millisecond decisions. Go’s performance plus developer augmentation delivers real-time bidding engines, VAST parsers and viewability metrics that monetise each impression.

Smart IoT

Smart IoT & Cameras
Manufacturers stream footage from edge devices. Our developers build MQTT gateways, time-series storage and AI inference pipelines in Go, ensuring secure, low-bandwidth delivery to dashboards and mobile apps.

Media Streaming Platform Backend Development Case Studies

Client: Mid-tier OTT provider targeting Asian markets.

Challenge: Their Media Streaming Platform Backend Development could not keep live latency below 8 seconds, risking premium rights.

Solution: Smartbrain supplied a squad of three Go experts. They rewrote the ingest service using HTTP/2, implemented chunked transfer encoding, and introduced autoscaling with KEDA. Observability was added through OpenTelemetry, making every hop traceable.

Result: 63 % latency reduction (7.9 s → 2.9 s) and 22 % AWS cost savings during peak concerts. The client renewed all broadcast contracts and expanded to two new regions.

Client: Global e-learning SaaS used by 4 M students.

Challenge: Accelerating Media Streaming Platform Backend Development while internal team was frozen by a hiring freeze.

Solution: Two Smartbrain Go contractors embedded remotely. They introduced feature flags, built a DRM token microservice and migrated legacy REST endpoints to gRPC, cutting serialisation overhead.

Result: 3x faster feature release cycle, 0 critical bugs during exam season, and 18 % increase in watch-through rates—all achieved without adding permanent headcount.

Client: Pay-per-view sports broadcaster airing global tournaments.

Challenge: Media Streaming Platform Backend Development outages during finals caused revenue loss and refunds.

Solution: Smartbrain deployed a senior Go architect who implemented circuit-breaker patterns, re-engineered Redis caching, and set up chaos testing. A second engineer automated Kubernetes capacity planning via custom metrics.

Result: 0 downtime across three major finals, 47 % drop in support tickets, and $1.2 M additional PPV revenue captured.
