What would happen if your streaming platform went down tomorrow – not from sabotage but from a sudden, unexpected failure in the cloud, your CDN, or your own architecture? This report explores the real-world resilience strategies of Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+, using them as a blueprint for what good looks like. We then map those lessons to what broadcasters and independent streamers can learn and apply.
We break down the three most common points of failure: global/systemic events, cloud/platform dependencies, and organisation-specific weaknesses. For each, we offer clear, practical mitigation strategies and a visual resilience framework designed for non-technical executives.
Whether you’re planning your disaster recovery roadmap or simply want to protect revenue and reputation, this is a must-read guide to business continuity in streaming. The report includes visuals, insights, and a glossary for every key technical term.
