CDN & Streaming Platforms
CDN and real-time streaming platforms engineered for low-latency delivery, high throughput, session continuity, and operational control at scale.
Cloud and platform engineering at PalC goes beyond generic infrastructure deployment. Our teams bring deep system-level understanding - from Kubernetes internals and eBPF networking to NOS build systems and packet processing pipelines. Whether building private cloud infrastructure, engineering cloud-native applications, or optimising complex multi-component build systems, PalC engineers platforms that are designed for operational reality, not demo-day simplicity.
