Trace playback issues

Find what's slowing your stream

See the complete path of a request through your system. When video playback stutters, trace calls from your mobile app through backend APIs and microservices to pinpoint bottlenecks. Waterfall graphs pinpoint where video requests stall during high-traffic events, so you can fix the root cause.

With backend monitoring, devs can pinpoint and fix slow performance on server-side applications.

Control costs

Scale for premiere events without budget surprises

Live sports and season finales cause traffic spikes and potential billing surprises. Predictable pricing and dynamic sampling monitor playback data during premiere events without exceeding quotas. Burst protection captures errors affecting premium subscribers while staying within budget and keeping your apps resilient.

Scale your project without surprise overages and get predictable pricing based on your span usage.
