Hydrolix, the streaming data lake company disrupting the economics of big data, has joined hands with Mux, the company behind the leading video streaming and monitoring platform for developers, to extend infrastructure observability to every screen.The Hydrolix platform ingests, stores and queries terabytes of log data while providing cost-effective, long-term storage, and sub-second query latency on all of the data — whether it’s a minute or a year old. This makes Hydrolix an ideal fit for origin-to-edge observability and content delivery network (CDN) monitoring, which typically generate large volumes of data.

“Hydrolix has solved the problem of how to store and query all of your observability data in real time, at scale, and without breaking the bank,” said Marty Kagan, co-founder and CEO of Hydrolix. “Mux has solved the problem of how to get comprehensive visibility into video players to see how users are engaging with their content. When you put these two incredible technologies together, you get something event and video streamers have never had before: affordable, real-time observability at scale from origin to edge in one dashboard.”

Mux Data provides comprehensive metrics for a deep understanding of video quality of experience across applications available on all device platforms. With Mux, streaming companies can quickly detect and fix potential quality of experience issues like playback failures, long video startup time, rebuffering latency and video quality.

Combined, Hydrolix retains and analyzes data from Mux along with origin and edge services log data and presents critical insights in one dashboard so that on-demand streamers can immediately spot quality of experience issues throughout their content’s digital journey.

The Mux integration is compatible with Cascade, Hydrolix’s managed observability service for AWS; TrafficPeak, an Akamai Cloud observability solution powered by Hydrolix; and other solutions powered by the Hydrolix streaming data lake.

Combined, Hydrolix and Mux provide unique benefits that other platforms can’t provide, including:

• Next-level CDN monitoring — now with video analytics included
• Real-time origin-to-edge observability including for major events generating millions of log lines per second
• Long-term historical analytics for a deep understanding of user engagement and trends over time
