ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE delivers
interactive TV experiences using
AWS serverless solutions
Challenge
Seven.One Entertainment Group, a wholly owned subsidiary of innovative digital group
ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE, had an opportunity to build a highly engaging, interactive television
solution to better delight and engage its customers. The company decided to migrate its on-
premises viewer engagement solution to AWS using a serverless architecture to handle the
peaks of event-based traffic.
Using managed services like AWS AppSync, Seven.One Entertainment Group can develop
GraphQL APIs by offloading the heavy lifting of securely connecting to DynamoDB data at
scale. Their serverless architecture, powered by the event-driven compute of Lambda, also
scales to support viewer interaction during events. It can deliver results in near real time to
millions of fans using AWS AppSync real-time subscriptions.
As a result of using AWS, the company reduced the monthly costs of its solution by 60 percent
and empowered employees to focus on differentiating tasks that create exciting new features
rather than spend time self-managing infrastructure.

Results

"Using AWS, we can focus on what
we do best, which is writing code.
We don't have to worry about
patching up operating systems
or scaling."
