- hootener 12y agoBased on earlier reports of Justin.tv's streaming architecture[1], I'm going to say no. Granted, that article is old, but I think a pretty serious investment in physical infrastructure has been made by Justin.tv/Twitch. So I'm more willing to believe they're still leveraging some variation of this architecture rather than AWS.
