Yeah this article contains no details and sounds self-congratulatory more than anything. As someone currently working with these same technologies for a new and ambitious project this frankly makes me less likely to hair Wistia, not more. There are plenty of challenges with video transcoding and delivery even today. ffmpeg/libav are still at the core of any transcoding but they are opaque and their integrals are difficult to understand let alone modify. Global CDNs are able to help but you do hit a wall pretty quickly where it goes from cheap to expensive to basically impossible. WebRTC is an emerging technology that is still full of bugs in the spec and implementation. Browsers don’t really handle video decoding in what you might call robust way. There are plenty of problems to solve in this space. Just saying that you built infrastructure that is “ reliable, scalable, high-quality, secure, and cutting-edge” is not enough to explain how you overcome any challenges. It just sounds like a buzzword salad.
