01
Overview
Content creators needed their own distribution channel: a robust streaming platform with high-quality delivery across mobile, web and TV.
02
Challenge
Video delivery at scale is unforgiving. Buffering, inconsistent quality on mobile networks and expensive egress would have killed the product.
03
Solution
A React Native app and web player backed by an encoding pipeline, adaptive bitrate streaming and a CDN strategy tuned for cost. Creators get a dashboard with audience and revenue analytics.
04
UX / UI
Playback is the product. Everything else — discovery, profiles, downloads — was designed to get out of the way of the play button.
05
Architecture
Serverless encoding jobs, HLS packaging, signed CDN URLs, a Node.js API for catalogue and entitlements, and real-time monitoring of playback quality.
06
Development
Shipped a web beta first to validate the pipeline, then mobile apps, with playback telemetry driving every optimisation decision.
Results
The platform sustains millions of monthly streams with playback reliability that meets the team's uptime target.
