Our Vision

Ateliere Creative Technologies is building the next generation cloud platform to power the production, post-production, distribution and monetization of video content, from the camera to the consumer eye.

The Challenge

The media industry has been slow to embrace the cloud because of the heavy duty transcoding and logistic workflows involving terabyte-scale media files. We work with Hollywood studios and post production houses, as well as the major cloud providers AWS, Azure and IBM to develop an innovative groundbreaking solution that enables the transition to the cloud and disrupt the industry. Our technology achievements secured us Amazon Advanced Technology Partner, Netflix Post Technology Alliance, Dolby Vision and Microsoft Manager Partner recognition.

If microservices, massive parallel architectures, distributed systems, image processing, AI, media editing tools are food for your soul, this is the place to be. Pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the cloud is what we do.

The Stack

• Our frontend clients are build with React and test automation with cypress.io.
• Our APIs are built with GraphQL.
• Our backend (micro)services are build with Typescript and node.js.
• Our data sits in Postgres, Redis and Elasticsearch.
• We use SQS and SWF to orchestrate our services.
• We run in Docker containers over Kubernetes auto scalable clusters (100s of nodes per cluster).
• We use Terraform and Helm for infrastructure set up and tear down and replication.
• We use CircleCI for our automated continuous integration process.
• The code sits on Github and we use Jira and Confluence to track work and documentation.
• We are open minded and always looking for new tools or technologies that can make our life easier or bring innovation.
