Backlight (formerly Zype and Iconik) leverages AWS next-generation infrastructure services to build world-class streaming video distribution and asset management workflows.

Ed Laczynski, Co-CEO of the Streaming Division at Backlight, and Mike Szumlinski, CPO of the Creative Division at Backlight, will detail the business drivers, architectures, and AWS practices to get “under the hood” on how Backlight solves big media problems.

The session will detail how Backlight helps some of the world’s largest and most innovative video-centric businesses distribute billions of views with AWS Elemental and CloudFront, and manage billions of video assets in Amazon S3.

We’ll also talk through real-world design with Chris Crook, Principal of Post Production at MGM, a Backlight customer.
