Why Netflix and Spotify Are Building Their Own Content Delivery Networks

Listen for free

View show details

Netflix and Spotify are quietly building their own content delivery networks, moving away from Amazon CloudFront and Akamai. Lucas and Luna break down the economics: Netflix's Open Connect now handles 95% of its own traffic, saving an estimated $1 billion annually in bandwidth costs. Spotify is following suit with its own CDN for audio streams, aiming to reduce latency and improve personalization. The hosts discuss how controlling the network layer gives streamers more leverage over ISPs and allows for smarter caching of AI-generated content. They also touch on the broader trend of big tech vertical integration and what it means for smaller competitors who can't afford their own infrastructure. A must-listen for anyone following streaming tech or cloud economics. #Netflix #Spotify #ContentDeliveryNetwork #OpenConnect #BandwidthCosts #CloudInfrastructure #VerticalIntegration #StreamingTechnology #AICaching #ISP #LatencyOptimization #AmazonCloudFront #Akamai #CDN #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #StreamingTechPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
