In this interview, Krish Kumar, CEO of Wowza, discusses how the democratization of MediaTech is empowering small development teams to build and customise their own video delivery pipelines. He shares examples like BallerTV, which streams thousands of youth sports events with fewer than ten developers, and FloSports, which creates differentiated features such as multi-angle replay thanks to full pipeline access and API control. Krish explains how hybrid deployment models and flexible architectures enable these teams to deliver predictable quality, innovate on their own timelines, and compete with larger broadcasters. He emphasises that democratization isn’t just about access—it’s about giving smaller teams the tools to achieve real competitive advantage.
