Streaming is entering a new phase, and the infrastructure behind it needs to evolve just as quickly.
In a new piece for Streaming Media, Netskrt CEO Siegfried Luft outlines why traditional CDN architectures are struggling to keep pace with today’s streaming realities, from massive concurrent audiences to the growing demands of live sports and high-bitrate content.
His takeaway: Legacy models built for predictable, on-demand traffic are no longer enough. The future requires a more distributed, software-defined approach that brings delivery closer to the end user, paired with intelligent orchestration to manage it all at scale.
This is exactly the kind of infrastructure Netskrt is building, designed for elasticity, efficiency, and the real-world dynamics of modern streaming.
As viewer expectations rise and tolerance for disruption falls, delivery is not a background function. It’s a strategic capability.

The economics and the architecture of conventional delivery networks are increasingly misaligned with the realities of modern streaming. Architectures that can dynamically match capacity to demand are far more efficient.
