New Delhi [India], July 14: On May 22nd, one of the internet’s largest video hosting platforms experienced a major outage. It was the third disruption in just one month.
For creators running paid academies, fitness communities, or private onboarding flows, this wasn’t just a technical blip. It broke trust.
That’s when something interesting happened.
Over the next few days, Gumlet, a quiet, infrastructure-first video delivery platform, started seeing an unusual spike in migration requests.
Companies that had previously been comfortable with “default” video platforms suddenly wanted a better answer: one that was faster, more secure, and wouldn’t fall apart when it mattered most.
What Makes Gumlet Different?
Gumlet, the best alternative to Vimeo and Wistia, doesn’t sell vanity metrics or outdated templates.
It doesn’t promise to be everything to everyone.
What it does is one thing—really well: Blazing fast, secure, and adaptive video infrastructure for modern teams.
Think:
- Creators running gated video academies
- SaaS companies onboarding thousands of users monthly
- Healthcare or edtech platforms with sensitive internal content
Unlike traditional platforms, Gumlet is built for developers and marketers. You can embed, stream, restrict, watermark, and analyze your videos — all in one place, without compromising speed or privacy.
And it integrates with your existing CMS, LMS, or website without any of the usual headaches.
From Quiet Infra to Global Backbone
You’ve probably watched a Gumlet-powered video this week without realizing it.
With 2M+ hours streamed monthly, Gumlet is already the invisible backbone behind thousands of websites and platforms across the world.
But the most impressive part?
They’re doing it without noise.
No celebrity endorsements. No flashy rebrands. No viral hype.
Just a relentless focus on performance and privacy — and a belief that good infrastructure shouldn’t call attention to itself.
Why Creators and Teams Are Choosing a New Kind of Video Infra
When you ask creators why they switch, three words come up often:
Speed. Simplicity. Safety.
Gumlet’s video delivery is optimized end-to-end, with built-in CDN, adaptive streaming, and granular access controls. It’s built for scale, whether you’re running a 50-person cohort or managing 50,000 users.
And because Gumlet is infrastructure-first, you don’t have to wait for the product team to approve yet another plugin. You get full visibility, fast delivery, and ironclad security.
It’s the kind of stack today’s creators didn’t know they needed until they saw what was possible.
The Future of Video Is Quiet, Fast, and Creator-First
Gumlet isn’t trying to replace anyone.
It’s just building what others forgot: a platform where performance beats polish, and infrastructure empowers creativity.
Because the next era of video infrastructure won’t be about legacy brands.
It’ll be about quiet, scalable, creator-first platforms.
It’ll look like Gumlet.
