At Kubicle, we relied on Wistia as our video hosting and streaming provider for multiple years. However, a significant increase in Wistia’s pricing made us re-evaluate our options. We had to find an alternative video hosting solution and migrate before the next payment cycle to avoid being locked into another year with Wistia. This article shares my experience leading the migration process with our team, including the challenges we faced and the technical solutions we explored....

In this article I have gathered some points that I think is important to have from the experience I have got working with one. Having said that, we may apply these points in future for the design system we have now.
