> I could have created a custom solution like Amazon S3 to host my video, but it was extremely complex and extremely expensive. And then someone said, but there is Mux and I checked it's exactly what I needed and for much cheaper than using AWS. That's why I had no choice. It was the best solution.

> We were stressing about how long it would take to fix our video streaming, but I was able to open up Github mobile and integrate Mux _on my phone._ I had something working in two hours. That’s wild.

Gaurav Misra

> We built an in-house MVP solution for video, but rather than spending our engineering team’s time navigating and maintaining video infrastructure, we turned to Mux. With Mux, video just works, which means we can focus on building the best product for Substack creators and trust that video is solved.
