Video platform and cloud infrastructure for creators and enterprises
Rumble operates a dual business: a video platform for creators and a cloud infrastructure layer built on Kubernetes, OpenStack, and bare-metal networking (DNS, BGP, Proxmox). The tech stack reveals heavy infrastructure ownership—they're building their own CDN and data-center abstraction rather than relying on third-party cloud providers—while active hiring in engineering (7 open roles) and a project roadmap anchored on Rumble Cloud product vision and capacity optimization suggest they're scaling platform and infrastructure simultaneously.
Rumble is a publicly traded video platform and cloud infrastructure company headquartered in Toronto with 201–500 employees. The business has two operational fronts: a video hosting and distribution service for creators (with AI-powered reporting and ranking), and an underlying cloud platform (Rumble Cloud) that handles content delivery, data storage, and compute. The infrastructure stack spans Kubernetes, OpenStack, and custom networking, indicating significant in-house engineering complexity. Current focus areas include stabilizing database-as-a-service reliability, optimizing cost per unit of scale, and completing a migration from Magnum to a new orchestration platform.
Rumble's stack spans bare-metal infrastructure (DNS, BGP, Linux, Proxmox), containerization (Kubernetes, Docker), infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible), and monitoring/testing (Selenium, Cypress, JMeter). They're adopting Cluster API for Kubernetes management.
Key projects include building a content distribution network and DNS infrastructure, Kubernetes component support, launching the Rumble Cloud product roadmap, capacity planning for database-as-a-service, and improving AI reporting capabilities.
