}Everything you need to stream
Built by engineers who've scaled video to millions of concurrent viewers.
Ultra-low latency
Sub-second delivery from 60+ edge PoPs worldwide. Viewers get the fastest possible experience regardless of location.
Adaptive bitrate
Automatic HLS and DASH packaging. Viewers always get the best quality their connection supports — no buffering.
Simple REST API
One API for upload, transcode, deliver, and analytics. SDKs for Node, Python, Go, and Ruby.
Real-time analytics
Watch viewer counts, rebuffering rates, and quality metrics live. Export data to your own pipelines.
Signed URLs
Protect content with time-limited, audience-restricted signed playback URLs. DRM available on Enterprise.
Auto-scaling
Handle traffic spikes automatically. We've delivered live events with 500k+ concurrent viewers without a dropped frame.
"We migrated from a major CDN provider to LightStream in a weekend. The API is genuinely a pleasure to work with, and our rebuffering rate dropped from 2.4% to 0.6% in the first week."
