Challenges
- 01
Content Delivery at Scale
With a rapidly expanding user base, Physics Wallah needed a system capable of handling large amounts of media content, including video lectures and live streams, across various devices and regions.
- 02
Reducing Buffering and Latency
High-quality educational content demands seamless delivery without buffering or delays, particularly for live sessions.
- 03
Scalability for Peak Traffic
The platform experienced massive spikes in traffic during live sessions and exam preparation periods, making scalability a key concern.
Solutions (Media CDN Implementation):
- 01
Media CDN Implementation:
To ensure fast and efficient content delivery, we implemented a Media Content Delivery Network (CDN). The CDN distributed video content across multiple servers globally, minimizing latency and ensuring that students could access content without delays, regardless of their location.
- 02
Optimized Content Distribution:
By strategically caching content closer to students, we reduced buffering times and improved the quality of video playback. This optimization allowed Physics Wallah to deliver content faster during both on-demand and live streaming sessions.
- 03
Scalable Solution for Peak Traffic:
The CDN solution was designed to automatically scale during periods of high demand, such as live sessions, ensuring a consistent and uninterrupted experience for all users.
Key Technology Used
- Media CDN:
Custom-built CDN tailored for educational content delivery
- Content Optimization:
Optimized content caching and distribution strategies for efficient media delivery

Results and Impact
- Improved User Experience
The Media CDN implementation led to a 40% reduction in buffering and a significant improvement in video quality, especially during live sessions, enhancing the learning experience for students.
