Bitmovin’s Observability for Video Playback Now Available on Akamai Cloud

Bitmovin, a provider of video streaming infrastructure, and Akamai Technologies, the cybersecurity and cloud computing company that powers and protects business online, today announced that Bitmovin’s Observability for video playback (formerly Bitmovin’s Analytics) is now available on Akamai Cloud for the Akamai Adaptive Media Player 2 (AMP2).

This integration enables improved streaming efficiency, real-time visibility, and deeper integration with Akamai’s services.

Bitmovin’s Observability on Akamai Cloud empowers streaming providers to track, monitor, and analyze video streams in real-time, delivering actionable insights into viewer experience, engagement, and ad performance. As part of Bitmovin’s rebrand, Bitmovin’s Observability for video playback expands upon the capabilities of its predecessor, Analytics, by offering richer visualization tools, enhanced data models, real-time alerts, and faster event tracking to give teams more visibility across the streaming workflow.

It joins Bitmovin’s Live and VOD Encoders, which already run on Akamai Cloud, and Bitmovin’s Player that now powers AMP2. Together, these solutions enable customers to access scalable, high-efficiency video workflows while benefiting from seamless integration with Akamai’s global content delivery network (CDN).

This new deployment follows the launch of the Akamai Adaptive Media Player 2 (AMP2), a future-ready, enterprise-grade media player that simplifies media delivery through hands-off maintenance, wide device coverage, and advanced playback optimization. With Bitmovin’s Observability available on Akamai Cloud, AMP2 users can unlock comprehensive end-to-end streaming insights while simplifying their technical stack.

“Bringing Bitmovin’s Observability to the globally distributed Akamai Cloud marks a major milestone in our long-standing collaboration with Akamai,” says Stefan Lederer, CEO and Co-Founder, Bitmovin. “This integration reflects our commitment to empowering streaming providers with data-driven visibility and the ability to deliver seamless, high-quality viewing experiences across every device and platform.”

Scott Lerner, SVP Global Services, Akamai, adds, “Bitmovin’s Observability on Akamai Cloud is the latest development to come from Bitmovin and Akamai’s close, collaborative relationship and shared focus on streamlining workflows and delivering next-level performance. By integrating Bitmovin’s Observability capabilities directly into the Akamai Adaptive Media Player 2, users can access unified and cohesive insights across a range of platforms, all without the complexity of third-party integrations. Just like powering AMP2 with Bitmovin’s player, adding Bitmovin Observability on Akamai Cloud is part of our overall strategy to bring more functionality and features to our customers.”
