60% Cost Reduction Through Serverless Azure Migration for Streaming Platform
60% Cost Reduction Through Serverless Azure Migration for Streaming Platform
We migrated GorgeousTV’s video streaming and shopping platform from GCP to Azure, replacing virtual machines with serverless components, Azure Container Apps, and CDN delivery via Azure Front Door. The result: up to 60% cost savings, faster global delivery, and a simplified, auto-scalable infrastructure.
COST SAVINGS
60% reduction in monthly cloud spend
DATA VOLUME MIGRATED
10TB across 400M individual files
GLOBAL DELIVERY
<300ms latency worldwide via Azure CDN
A video-heavy platform with fragmented services needed lower operational costs and better global delivery performance.
Multi-service migration from GCP
The stack relied on Cloud Run, Kubernetes, BigQuery, and Cloud Storage—each requiring specific replacements in the Azure ecosystem.
High-volume data migration under constraints
Over 10TB of video and telemetry data—spread across 400 million small files—had to be moved with precision and no re-ingestion failures.
VM sprawl and scaling inefficiency
The existing architecture used static VMs with manual scaling, increasing cloud spend and ops effort during traffic peaks.

Uitware built a powerful IoT platform that helps us drive sustainability and scale with ease. Their team is a true partner in innovation.
Joost Kingma
We built a cloud-native Azure platform using managed services, Container Apps, and CDN delivery—fully optimized for global media workloads.
Azure Kubernetes Service for backend migration
Rebuilt core services using AKS, integrating Prometheus, secure ingress via NGINX, and secret management with Azure Key Vault.
Python service refactor using Azure Container Apps
Repackaged event-driven Python workers into stateless services for lower cost and auto-scaling under load.
Azure Data Factory for large-scale transfer
High-throughput pipelines migrated 10TB+ from Cloud Storage to Azure Blob, and analytics data to Azure PostgreSQL.
Angular frontend hosted on Azure Static Website + Front Door
Optimized global availability with edge caching, TLS termination, and instant rollouts via CDN-backed deployment.
