PAOK TV Streaming on AWS | Customer Success Story

With a 95-year history, more than 1.5 million fans, and an annual budget of €50 million, PAOK FC is one of the biggest and most successful football clubs in Greece. The club, which has around 150 employees, has developed its own streaming platform—PAOK TV—which is all-in on Amazon Web Services (AWS). The biggest challenge for PAOK FC’s internet-based TV channel is scaling to accommodate huge increases in traffic in the minutes before games kick off. Migrating to AWS helped the club scale to reliably handle these spikes in demand. PAOK FC now extensively uses AWS technologies, including AWS Elemental Media Services, AWS Lambda, and AWS CloudFront to keep its systems scalable, redundant, and secure—while delivering a quality experience to end users.
