ScyllaDB - How JioCinema Uses ScyllaDB Bloom Filters for Personalization

“At a technical level, ensuring fresh recommendations is something that every streaming platform faces. But the standard solutions weren’t a good fit for JioCinema, a prominent Indian streaming service known for its affordability and extensive content library – and currently experiencing explosive growth (e.g., with world-record-breaking 620M IPL viewers, peaking over 20M concurrent viewers). Instead of building their own Bloom filters or using common solutions like Redis Bloom filters, they took a different path: using ScyllaDB’s built-in Bloom filter support to check watch status in real time.”
