Case Studies

Walk onto a film set at Vū Technologies and there is no green screen in sight. Instead, actors perform in front of massive LED video walls that render photorealistic backdrops in real time: a sunset beach, a mountain pass, a cyberpunk alley. The director simply swipes the next scene onto the wall from an iPad. Vū operates a network of virtual production studios across the United States and has built custom LED stages for brands such as the PGA Tour and the Tampa Bay Lightning. Behind those walls runs Vū Studio, their software ecosystem for managing and playing back media. And behind Vū Studio's video pipeline runs Transloadit.

WeTransfer stands as a titan in the file-sharing landscape and the company is widely celebrated for its ability to facilitate the effortless transfer of large files. With a staggering 2 petabytes (PB) of file previews generated and served each month, WeTransfer needed a solution that could offer seamless, real-time previews without overburdening its existing infrastructure and dev team—while simultaneously reducing its carbon footprint through innovation. The WeTransfer team discovered the solution in Transloadit's Smart CDN, a service that not only addressed the immediate challenge but also brought efficiency and an unexpected level of adaptability to the table.

It is hard to think of something being talked about more in tech at the moment than AI. With the industry rapidly growing, time-to-delivery is crucial. That is why the state-of-the-art AI-powered research engine Silatus turned to Transloadit and Uppy when it needed a file-uploading solution.

Open source is at the heart of Transloadit, with two of our projects, Uppy and Tus, making an impact in their respective fields. Following this theme, we are excited to shine a light on Supabase, an open-source backend as a service, who have recently adopted the Tus protocol to allow for resumable uploads.

At Transloadit, we love open source. So much, in fact, that most of the software we write is released in the public domain. While these case studies are usually reserved to cover our commercial products, we thought it might be fun to cover the adoption of one of our open source projects for a change.

Founded in 1534 by King Henry VIII, Cambridge University Press is the oldest publishing house in the world. Over the past five centuries, countless great thinkers, scientists and other acclaimed authors have turned to the Press for the publication of their works. Among them, you will find the likes of Isaac Newton, Bertrand Russel, Noam Chomsky and Stephen Hawking. Through their ideas and theories, these great thinkers challenged what we believed to be true and changed the world in profound ways.

Yes, oddly enough, this seems to be the case! A while ago, we noticed something really interesting on tus.io, our open protocol for resumable uploads: a comment from Jaroslaw Wasilewski mentioned that tus was being used to support firefighting rescue operations. Now that is exciting news!
