Really excited by all the incredible things are customers are building with video, and proud of our team. (Speaking of which, ahem: https://mux.com/jobs/)

I'm evaluating video platforms for a new project right now, and Mux is one of the options.

It looks like a crowded field with a big range of offerings, but also some very direct competitors. I'm curious what sets Mux apart from the others!

The "Show HN" thread from 2018 is a good read.

Hey Alex - try us out! I think you'll find some significant differences between us and others.

In general, we put a lot of work into performance, developer experience, product flexibility, and support.

Appreciate the reply!

Mux is definitely on our shortlist, the website and developer documentation made a great first impression. Very clear and easy to understand, the developer focus is obvious.
