While Bitmovin has been successfully deployed within Streamcake-powered workflows, this announcement marks its evolution into a foundational component of Streamcake’s end-to-end orchestration layer.
By combining Bitmovin’s encoding, playback and analytics capabilities with Streamcake’s orchestration and automation engine, Layercake enables organisations to design, deploy and operate complete media workflows across the entire content lifecycle, from ingest through to delivery and playback.
Through a single orchestration layer, Streamcake automates complex processes including ingest, encoding, packaging, DRM, delivery and playback. The result is reduced operational complexity, faster deployment, improved reliability and scalable, cloud-based media operations.
Streamcake acts as the control plane across the Bitmovin ecosystem, enabling dynamic workflow configuration, real-time optimisation and efficient infrastructure management. This allows organisations to scale globally, respond to demand in real time and consistently deliver high-quality viewing experiences.
“This capability is already delivering real results within our platform,” said Domenic Romeo, CTO of Layercake. “Formalising our integration with Bitmovin reflects the maturity of the solution and the value it brings to customers. It’s a key capability that enables us to deliver true end-to-end orchestration.”
“We’re excited to see Bitmovin’s streaming capabilities integrated as a core component within Streamcake’s orchestration layer,” said Ian Baglow, Co-CEO, Bitmovin “By combining our encoding, playback and analytics technologies with Layercake’s orchestration platform, customers can build and operate highly scalable, end-to-end video workflows with greater efficiency, flexibility and control.”
The combined solution supports a wide range of use cases, including OTT streaming, live sports, simulcast workflows and enterprise video, providing a flexible and scalable foundation for modern media operations.
This milestone further strengthens Layercake’s ecosystem of strategic technology partners and reinforces its commitment to delivering modular, best-of-breed solutions orchestrated through a single intelligent platform.
