AWS-based VOD: Building Scalable System for Roligt AB

Roligt AB, a Swedish media solutions company, wanted to expand its services by launching a new video-on-demand (VOD) platform — titta.io. The platform needed to enable publishers to upload and monetize movies, concerts, and other digital media securely.

Their key requirements included:

• High availability and automatic scaling
• Low latency streaming
• Robust security and DRM
• GDPR compliance
• Cost-efficiency

Additionally, the platform had to support three distinct components:

Super-Admin Panel for managing users, publishers, and payments
Publishing Platform for uploading and customizing video pages
Video Page with integrated payment and secure video playback
The main challenge was creating a scalable, secure, and user-friendly system that met industry standards for media processing within a tight timeline.

Perfsys designed and implemented a serverless AWS-based architecture that delivered flexibility, scalability, and cost efficiency. The architecture was built around more than 20 AWS services, including:

• Amazon Cognito for secure authentication and authorization
• Amazon API Gateway & AWS Lambda for scalable backend logic
• Amazon S3 for media storage
• AWS Elemental MediaConvert & MediaPackage for video conversion and packaging
• Amazon CloudFront for global content distribution with DRM, CDN authorization, and geo-restrictions
• Amazon DynamoDB for video metadata and user data storage
• AWS CodeBuild & CloudFormation for CI/CD and infrastructure automation

Key features implemented:

• Custom video publishing workflow with subtitle support, design customization, and premiere scheduling
• Real-time video processing notifications and status tracking for publishers
• Integration with Swish (Swedish mobile payments) for secure and simple video purchases
• Comprehensive reporting and analytics via the Super
• Admin panel
• This solution ensured a seamless publisher and user experience, while also meeting strict performance, compliance, and security standards.
