3Q is an API-first video infrastructure for developers and engineering teams who want direct control over their media backend. A REST video API and native player SDKs give you programmatic access to hosting, ingestion, encoding, live streaming, video-on-demand, and delivery, so you can build video portals, streaming apps, or OTT backends on a single European platform.
The stack is transparent by design. 3Q supports adaptive bitrate streaming over HLS and DASH with mixed HEVC and AVC codecs and automatic Live-to-VoD. Delivery runs over a proprietary global CDN, multi-CDN, and eCDN with tokenised access, encryption, and HTTP/2 over TLS 1.3. The Cookie- and Consent-free HTML5 Video Player is barrier-free to WCAG and needs no consent layer. Video AI exposes speech-to-text transcription, automatic subtitles, translation, and chapter markers through the same API, and integration fits your existing pipeline and CI workflows.
What sets 3Q apart is ownership. 3Q runs on its own physical servers in colocations in Nuremberg and Frankfurt, not rented hyperscaler capacity, so your data stays in the EU and under German jurisdiction. 3Q is ISO/IEC 27001 certified and GDPR-compliant, with modular pay-as-you-go pricing and 24/7 human support from engineers who know the platform.

Amazon CloudFront is a rapid content delivery network (CDN) service that efficiently distributes data, videos, applications, and APIs to users worldwide with minimal latency and high transfer speeds, all within a user-friendly framework for developers. This CDN is closely integrated with AWS, utilizing both physical sites connected to the AWS global infrastructure and various other AWS services. It operates in harmony with offerings like AWS Shield for DDoS protection, Amazon S3, Elastic Load Balancing, or Amazon EC2 as the source for your applications, and Lambda@Edge, which allows you to execute custom code nearer to the end-users to enhance their experience. Notably, if AWS origins like Amazon S3, Amazon EC2, or Elastic Load Balancing are utilized, there are no charges for data transferred between these services and CloudFront. Moreover, you can tailor the code executed at the CDN edge using serverless computing capabilities, ensuring an optimal blend of cost efficiency, performance, and security while delivering content. This flexibility makes CloudFront an excellent choice for developers aiming to create a responsive and secure content delivery experience.
