Meet Minute Media
Minute Media was founded in Tel Aviv, Israel, in 2011 as an online toolset that allowed football fans to develop and share digital content. The startup expanded into other topics and is now a leading global media company, owning six different digital content brands powered by proprietary technology. The company developed an online video platform used by its own brands and more than 70 other video publishers, becoming the largest video publisher in the US with over one billion video views and 350 million unique users monthly.
The Challenge
Minute Media needed increased resources to support its massive scale as the largest video publisher in the US, serving over one billion video views and 350 million unique users monthly. The company required additional support to keep streams flowing for its licensees and six digital media properties.
The Solution
DoiT International guided Minute Media to develop an in-house video player platform on AWS. The solution used AWS Lambda for automatic scaling, AWS Elemental MediaConvert for video transcoding, and Amazon S3 for reliable storage of over 15 TBs of video content. They also built a semantic engine using Amazon Comprehend for intelligent content matching.
Results
- Achieved 90% more capacity to upload new videos from partners and content providers
- Delivered 70% more video views compared to previous platform
- Saved $10,000-$12,000 per month on infrastructure costs
- Built semantic engine with 85% accuracy vs 70% for competing products
- Won more than 20 new partners with improved platform capabilities
DoiT advised us on which AWS services we needed to create a flexible infrastructure that allowed us to own the solution and meet our needs and the needs of our partners.
Sharon Weiss, CTO and Vice President of Research and Development
Building an In-House Video Platform
With DoiT International's guidance, Minute Media developed an online video player in-house on AWS. After six months of development, the new platform launched using AWS Lambda for massive automatic scaling, AWS Elemental MediaConvert for video transcoding, and Amazon S3 for reliable storage of over 15 TBs of video content. DoiT helped choose optimal technologies to create a capable and cost-effective solution that met both Minute Media's needs and their partners' requirements.
Creating a Smart Semantic Engine
Minute Media built a semantic engine to automatically discover and link related videos in real time. Using Amazon Comprehend's machine learning capabilities to identify patterns in video content, combined with their custom matching algorithm, the solution achieved 85% accuracy compared to 70% for competing products. AWS Lambda and Amazon S3 balanced loads at peak times to minimize video delivery lags, giving Minute Media a competitive advantage that helped win over 20 new partners.
Scaling Through Pandemic Challenges
The AWS pay-for-what-you-use model proved essential during the pandemic as demand shifted dramatically. While sports-focused partners saw video demand drop due to canceled events, user-generated content sites experienced increased traffic. The flexible infrastructure allowed Minute Media to manage costs as workloads shifted and continue onboarding new partners seeking cost efficiency in an uncertain economic environment.

What they say
Attribute™'s platform is truly unique. We now have crystal-clear visibility into our cloud spend at the workload and tenant level, and that insight has already led to actionable savings and powerful insights as we further scale our service.
Paul White, VP of Engineering, Shasta Cloud
We have worked with DoiT for many years, and there has been an increasing number of capabilities and features in DoiT Cloud Intelligence. We've embedded features such as Cloud Analytics and Reports in our own FinOps processes, it's become core to what we do.
Martin Lee, Director of Operations
DoiT gave us the confidence to move from experimentation to production. They helped us understand the right way to build AI for the real world.
Milad Rezazadeh, CTO
Attribute™'s cost grouping technology took our cost visibility and allocation to a whole new level. Now, our teams are fully accountable for their budgets, significantly improving our cloud efficiency and helping us minimize unnecessary costs.
Eli Zilbershtein, Head of DevOps, Hippo
You can't tag a customer in a multi-tenant environment. Attribute™ finally shows us what each customer costs and what's driving those costs.
Omri Cohen, Director of Engineering, Platform
Attribute™'s data is truly unmatched. No other solution on the market could deliver the precise customer cost and usage profiles we needed in such a complex infrastructure. Within weeks, the data from Attribute™ transformed our understanding of cost structures, influencing key strategic decisions in pricing, renegotiations, and market positioning.
Jonathan Langer, COO, Claroty
Attribute™ simplified tracking customer costs in our multi-tenant environments. Customer cost measurement is now clear and standardized, and finance gets the business context they need. Integration was quick and required no changes.
Kfir Lippmann, CFO, Salt Security
Attribute™ translates complex cloud bills into actionable, business-centric insights that empower our engineering teams to take true ownership of their costs.
Balamurugan Mohandossgandhi, Head of IT and Infrastructure, PropertyGuru
This has let us get a better idea of what our cost of goods sold really is. It's not every day you come across something that delivers value as quickly as yours did for us. I was seeing useful insights inside the POC, and we had only deployed it to a couple of real clusters.
Jason Moore, Principal DevOps Engineer, Accrete AI
Eliminating the need to tag thousands of resources has freed up my team and we've invested our efforts in enhancing our platform significantly.
Ziv Sivan, VP of Engineering
PerfectScale by DoiT has become an important part of how we optimize Kubernetes at scale at OneFootball. It gives our platform team the visibility, automation, resiliency insights, and confidence we need to balance cost efficiency with production readiness, especially as we prepare for major global football moments like the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Andrea Benfatto, Platform/Cloud Runtime Engineering Manager
Cloudflow's new RDS End of Life alerts have allowed us to be more proactive on keeping our database instances up-to-date. The new solution gives us internal visibility ahead of time so that we can prepare for upgrades, instead of having to upgrade under pressure while incurring extended support costs.
Jon Fairbanks, Site Reliability Engineering Manager
PerfectScale cut 40% off our total EKS spend, and the automations handle what used to take our team 20 hours a month. Now we spend that time on reliability and performance instead of chasing cost metrics.
Caio Cristo, Director of Infrastructure/SRE
