Live Streaming the Super Bowl: The Art of Scaling Across Multiple Cloud Regions

Paramount+ successfully transitioning to a multi-region architecture demonstrates the importance of choosing the right database and design patterns for achieving low latency, scalability, and resilience across multiple cloud regions. The company's use of YugabyteDB and its distributed SQL database architecture enabled them to tolerate region-level outages, scale their streaming platform to accommodate millions of users during peak periods, and maintain low latency across distant locations. By implementing a multi-region setup correctly, developers can build applications that are similarly resilient and performant, even in the face of complex scalability challenges.
