What you'll learn

  • Learn how Disney-ABC TV leverages Amazon Kinesis and MemSQL to provide real-time insights based on user telemetry

Description

As content consumption continues to evolve, the media industry needs deeper insights into consumer behavior. These insights must also become actionable in real or near real time in order to maximize their context and add business value.

Adam Ahringer explains how Disney-ABC TV leverages Amazon Kinesis and MemSQL to provide real-time insights based on user telemetry as well as the platform for traditional data warehousing activities. These technologies enable a strong user experience and deliver more engaging streaming content to customers who watch Grey’s Anatomy, How to Get Away with Murder, and other Disney-ABC TV content.

This session is sponsored by MemSQL.

I’m interested in what led you to choose Kinesis and if you tested other options before ruling them out. Was there a specific attribute of your use case that made one solution appear to be a better fit? Thank you.
