What is Eventzilla?

One real theme release amid stale event-planning content

Eventzilla's feed pairs a single product update — five new event-landing-page themes — with a backlog of evergreen event-planning strategy posts. The entries run from mid-2024 to March 2025, so the crawled feed is stale by more than a year.

What is Wowza?

Wowza's feed is deep streaming-engineering education, not release notes.

Wowza's feed is technical education about live-streaming infrastructure: HLS stream security and m3u8 protection, passthrough-vs-transcoding tradeoffs, hardware capacity planning, WebVTT captions, and mobile streaming architecture. These reference Wowza Streaming Engine but read as engineering explainers and how-tos, not product releases. The signal is positioning Wowza as the technical authority for self-managed streaming.

One real theme release amid stale event-planning content

◆ Current state

Eventzilla's feed pairs a single product update — five new event-landing-page themes — with a backlog of evergreen event-planning strategy posts. The entries run from mid-2024 to March 2025, so the crawled feed is stale by more than a year.

◆ Where it's heading

The lone product move is cosmetic (landing-page themes), and everything newer is absent, so the trajectory is not observable — the blog appears to have stopped updating or the crawler is on an archived feed.

◆ Prediction

Without recent entries, no confident prediction; the feed source likely needs re-pointing to confirm whether product work continues.

Wowza's feed is deep streaming-engineering education, not release notes.

◆ Current state

Wowza's feed is technical education about live-streaming infrastructure: HLS stream security and m3u8 protection, passthrough-vs-transcoding tradeoffs, hardware capacity planning, WebVTT captions, and mobile streaming architecture. These reference Wowza Streaming Engine but read as engineering explainers and how-tos, not product releases. The signal is positioning Wowza as the technical authority for self-managed streaming.

◆ Where it's heading

A clear thread runs through the recent posts: stream security and the gap between authentication and actual content protection, where token-protected HLS still plays in a desktop player. Alongside that sits capacity-planning and architecture content aimed at engineers running their own infrastructure. The direction is depth for a technical buyer, reinforcing Wowza Streaming Engine's self-hosted positioning rather than signaling new features.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued engineering-grade content on stream security and capacity planning; any real product changes would likely show up in engine release notes rather than this blog.
