Netflix has an entire team dedicated to development obviously,
What I was curious about is how Netflix allows 167 million people to stream the media on their devices, apparently, the answer to this is pretty sharp and smart
What Netflix did was contacted the ISPs(Internet Service Provider) and installed a Box called Netflix Open Connect Appliances (OCAs) right at each ISP's office, these little red-colored boxes stores entire data of Netflix i.e. your movies and series. This allows faster delivery of content from the ISP to the user eliminating the usual process of how the internet works,
for those of you who don't know how the internet works here's an explanation - (Your regular website from your laptop goes to - modem - ISP - satellite - data center - data, Data centers are the harddisks of the internet, located at 6-8 places in the entire world, basically every data on the internet is stored right in a data center)
You can read about this particular feature here
I hope this image clears everything out for you -
Well, some pretty interesting stuff coming out about Netflix - stay tuned
