Industry Context

The media industry, particularly local news, faces increasing competition from streaming and digital platforms. Traditional cable news providers must adapt with user-friendly, on-demand digital services to retain viewers and ad revenue. Modernizing infrastructure, ensuring seamless performance, and improving observability are key to a premium digital experience. 

Industry Context-Exclusive 247 News Service Modernizing the Infrastructure and Optimizing CICD Processes-1

Client Challenge

The client is a 24/7 local news service providing breaking news, traffic, weather, and sports updates for Long Island and New York neighborhoods. The company faced declining subscriptions due to industry shifts and outdated infrastructure tied to the parent company. Limited observability, inefficient deployment processes, and frequent downtime impacted the user experience and reduced advertising revenue. The client thus needed a modern, independent digital platform to improve performance, reliability, and scalability.
