  Yes, we did indeed consider Stream, but figured we could save some money by deploying and running our own system. We are very hopeful to quickly get a couple million users in a short time from our launch and that would have ran up our costs with stream quickly.

    That's nice to hear. Best of luck with your project. We've had some really large companies move to Stream from their in-house tech and save 30-70% comparing Stream's monthly fees vs their in-house hosting. (the difference gets much larger if you add the engineering & maintenance cost of their in-house systems). If your team is in the USA & funded it's pretty difficult to build in-house with a good ROI.
