Netflix delivers buffer-free streaming through a sophisticated distributed systems architecture. The platform uses Amazon Web Services for managing control-plane operations and its custom Content Delivery Network, Open Connect, to handle data-plane operations. Key components include hundreds of microservices, a two-tier CDN deployment, adaptive bitrate streaming, and advanced resilience engineering practices. This setup allows for smooth content delivery and high availability, even under heavy load.
