We needed a video platform for our university. Difficult, but we had a dev team of 8 with some architecture experience, so let's try. We did a successful POC in 2023.

We use: Plone 6, VideoJS player, Wowza streaming engine, Keycloak, WhisperX, Camunda 7, Nomad. Most important: open source and license free.

Security. We have it in a dedicated and separate server environment. All data is stored on own servers of the university. All data and files are encrypted. Plone is very secure. All transactions are logged. There is a process for data protection, and it has been reviewed and documented.

There was no definite deadline, which is both good and bad. We could focus on quality, but also needed to focus on other projects.

Now a nice working demo.
