Observability for media: every stream, every story, every player
Keep streaming, publishing and gaming platforms fast and stable during peak moments, from encoder and CDN to the viewer's screen
Live events without buffering
How streaming teams prepare for finals, premieres and elections with load tests and real-time QoE.
Read nowAudiences do not wait for buffering wheels.
Viewers switch channels after seconds of rebuffering, readers leave slow pages, and gamers churn after laggy matches.Quality of experience at scale
Startup time, rebuffering and bitrate drops vary by device, region, CDN and ISP. Without per-session data, problems hide in averages.
Peak events with no second chance
Finals, premieres and breaking news multiply traffic within minutes. Any bottleneck in encoding, origin or CDN becomes visible to millions.
Monetization depends on performance
Failed ad insertions, slow paywalls and broken checkouts cost revenue directly, and they are often invisible to infrastructure monitoring.
70% fewer support tickets
Session replay reproduces viewer issues without back-and-forth with support.
5 min to the cause of a player error
JavaScript and player errors are linked to backend traces and releases.
< 1% profiling overhead in production
Continuous profiling for game servers and streaming backends without measurable latency.
40% less rebuffering after optimization
Per-CDN and per-ISP QoE data shows exactly where to steer traffic.
Observability use cases for Media and Entertainment
From the encoder to the living room: where media companies use Obseria.Streaming and video
Player QoE monitoring
Measure startup time, rebuffering ratio, bitrate and errors for every session on web, mobile and connected TV, segmented by CDN, ISP and device.
Digital experienceEncoding, packaging and CDN
Follow the delivery chain from encoder and origin to multi-CDN edges and correlate quality drops with the component that caused them.
Infrastructure observabilityLive event readiness
Baseline normal traffic, forecast peak load and run synthetic checks from 50+ locations before kickoff.
PredictionsPublishing and monetization
Ad delivery and SSAI
Track ad requests, fill rates and server-side ad insertion errors next to playback quality and revenue per minute.
Business observabilityCMS and paywall performance
Trace page renders, CMS APIs and paywall checks so editors publish fast and subscribers convert.
Application observabilityCore Web Vitals for publishers
LCP, INP and CLS by template and third-party script, because search ranking and reader retention depend on them.
Real user monitoringGaming
Game server performance
Continuous profiling and tracing for match servers, matchmaking and inventory services, with tick-rate and latency SLOs.
ProfilingFraud and abuse signals
Detect credential stuffing, bot traffic and payment abuse in logs and traces at runtime.
Application securityLaunch-day autoscaling
Scale capacity automatically when player queues grow and roll back faulty patches based on crash rates.
AutomationPrivacy and accessibility built in
Media platforms process large volumes of viewer and subscriber data. Obseria keeps it protected while giving teams the insight they need.
- GDPRSession replay with client-side masking and EU data residency.
- Consent managementRUM respects consent signals from your CMP before collecting data.
- Digital Services ActAudit trails and availability evidence for platform obligations.
- European Accessibility ActMonitor accessibility-relevant performance and errors in players and checkouts.
- ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type IICertified platform operation with annual audits.
During our biggest live event of the year, we saw a CDN region degrade and moved traffic before viewers noticed. A year earlier we would have learned it from social media.

Streaming observability connects player-side quality of experience (startup time, rebuffering, bitrate, errors) with the delivery chain behind it: encoders, packagers, origins and CDNs. It explains why viewers have a poor experience, not just that they do.
Yes. Lightweight SDKs and OpenTelemetry instrumentation collect QoE data from web, mobile, connected TV and set-top box players.
QoE data is segmented by CDN, region and ISP. Teams see which CDN performs best where and can automate traffic steering based on these signals.
Yes. Sensitive fields are masked on the client before data leaves the device, consent signals are respected and data is stored in the EU.
Yes. Obseria ingests millions of data points per second and uses seasonal baselines so peak traffic is not mistaken for an anomaly.
