From season premiere drops to live sports concurrency — Mydbops keeps your OTT platform online, fast, and compliance-ready. So your engineering team can focus on content, not clusters.
In streaming, database performance is the difference between a viral premiere and a trended outage. The stakes are live — literally.
Season finales and new releases drive sudden 10–50x concurrent surges. Dream11 crashed at just 6K QPS during IPL toss moments — blocking millions from joining contests right at the peak moment.
Crashes block millions at exactly the wrong secondIPL, FIFA, and Olympics events push millions of simultaneous streams. DB write rates, session management, and real-time scoring queries all peak together with zero tolerance for lag or failure.
Live events = highest DB stress in the entire industryAI-powered content recommendations require sub-millisecond database queries at scale. Slow queries surface irrelevant content, reduce watch time, and directly drive subscriber churn.
Slow recommendations measurably increase churnRight-to-erasure, data residency, consent management — OTT platforms serving EU, US, and India must enforce all three simultaneously at the database layer or face multi-million dollar fines.
Non-compliance fines can reach 4% of global annual revenueMillions of titles, thumbnails, geo-licensing rules, and localisation variants demand flexible schema, fast full-text search, and reliable read performance — while the catalog keeps growing daily.
Catalog complexity grows 3x as platforms expand globallyEvery stream start validates entitlements, DRM tokens, and subscription tiers in real time. Database bottlenecks at this layer directly block stream starts — a 100% revenue and experience failure.
Entitlement DB failures block 100% of stream-start attempts9+ years of open-source database expertise applied to every layer of your OTT stack — so your platform never becomes a headline for the wrong reasons.
We architect and tune your database infrastructure to absorb sudden 20–50x traffic spikes without downtime — IPL matches, season finales, sporting events. Proven with Dream11 at 200K TPS.
We tune your MongoDB, PostgreSQL, or MySQL clusters to serve personalisation queries at millisecond speed — even as you scale from thousands to tens of millions of users.
We ensure your metadata database — titles, rights windows, geo-rules, thumbnails, localisation — is always fast, consistent, and searchable at any catalog size or ingestion rate.
We build and manage the Redis and Cassandra infrastructure powering seamless user sessions, login flows, and watch-history continuity across all devices and regions.
We manage the database backends powering your real-time dashboards, content performance analytics, and churn prediction models — always-fresh data for product and content teams.
We implement database-level controls for GDPR, CCPA, DPDP, and DRM compliance — right-to-erasure workflows, audit logging, data residency, and entitlement integrity.
Real numbers from real production systems under real peak load. From clients who trusted us with their most critical moments.

"Mydbops really helped us scale 20X times in a very short span. They are really good at database optimization, security, and maintenance. Above all, their attitude toward owning the client's problems and treating them as their own is absolutely mind-blowing. Highly recommended."

"As India's leading game streaming platform with 75M+ installs, we handle massive traffic spikes during tournaments. Mydbops has been crucial in managing our database performance and costs for 4+ years. Their proactive monitoring, query optimization, and 24/7 support have helped us achieve seamless scaling."

"Mydbops proved to be a reliable database monitoring partnership, delivering 24/7 MySQL monitoring with proactive alerts and rapid response times. Their clear reporting and deep technical expertise helped us optimize performance and prevent downtime. A solid, dependable team that delivers results."

"Mydbops excels beyond database administration, delivering comprehensive security, governance, and compliance solutions. Their team's deep technical expertise and end-to-end approach to database management and security sets them apart. I highly recommend their database services."
Every number below is from a real production system under real peak load — not a benchmark lab.
Mydbops manages every layer — from content metadata to real-time analytics pipelines. One expert team, full-stack coverage, zero undifferentiated heavy lifting for your engineers.
OTT platforms face the most demanding compliance landscape in tech. Mydbops brings ISO-certified processes, GDPR-ready operations, and an SLA built for the unforgiving nature of live streaming.
Mydbops specialises in all major open-source databases powering modern streaming platforms. One partner, complete database coverage.







We architect your database layer with horizontal read replica scaling, ProxySQL / MaxScale load balancing, and Redis caching so concurrent sessions hit an optimised read path rather than your primary write nodes. We also conduct pre-event load testing and capacity reviews. This is exactly what we did for Dream11 — taking them from a 6K QPS crash point to handling 200K TPS through an entire IPL season with zero incidents.
Most platforms benefit from a hybrid approach: PostgreSQL or MongoDB for the recommendation feature store, Redis for real-time preference caching, and full-text search for content similarity. Mydbops assesses your specific stack and latency requirements to prescribe the right architecture at your scale — not a generic one-size-fits-all answer.
Yes. Mydbops is ISO 27001 and PCI-DSS certified. We implement right-to-erasure workflows at the database level for GDPR Article 17, data residency controls for EU and India (DPDP 2023), and full audit logging for compliance reporting. Our security controls are fully documented and mapped to both regulations.
Our team is available 24/7/365 with a critical issue response SLA under 15 minutes. For major planned events like premieres, we proactively assign dedicated engineers on standby for your platform. Our monitoring systems are built to catch anomalies minutes before they impact users — giving us time to act before your viewers ever notice a thing.
Cloud-managed databases handle infrastructure provisioning — but they don't optimise your queries, tune your schema, or understand your content-serving patterns. Mydbops provides expert DBA engineers who know OTT-specific workloads: recommendation engines, live event spikes, DRM entitlement patterns, and analytics pipelines. We're the team that makes your managed database actually perform at the level your product demands.
Yes. We support deployments across AWS, GCP, Azure, and on-premises infrastructure in all major regions. We architect multi-region replication strategies, manage geo-aware read routing, and ensure your geo-licensing and data residency controls are enforced at the database layer — essential for any platform simultaneously serving regulated markets.
