Case Study
On the free trial period, the user would be able to watch free movies and shows.
Once you take the subscription, the user can enjoy the unlimited benefits of the business.
The app should work on multiple platforms like that of mobile, desktop, tablet, smart TV, etc.
User management, in-app purchases, clip saving, should be smooth.
A friendly user interface.
Downloading and offline watching should be available.
The application should meet the stringent expectations and complete the complex functionalities.
With the ever-increasing usage of mobile phones for Internet surfing and online video streaming, internet speed came out to be the biggest hurdle. Enjoying great video experience was the most significant hurdle to be surpassed by the people.
To get a leap over these hurdles, the client in question reached RavStack to develop a native application on iOS, Android, and Web Servers to achieve the ultimate mass.
The main aim of the client was to provide a platform for young and talented people to publish short videos of their talent. In this way, the world comes to know about them through high-quality videos and that too at the low bandwidth.
The client wanted to add some general topics as well so that people may enhance their latest general know-how through this app.
Uploading a video straight away from the phone to the app is not that difficult. The real challenge comes when one has to upload a cut-scene of the video. Usually, people have to use a third party video trimmer for the upload. We wished to let that go away and provide a native video trimmer along.
In the developmental stage, it was quite challenging to make an actual video trimmer to be embedded in all the compatibilities. But, our experienced developers were able to make such a video trimmer that could trim the video before letting it go viral.
Usually, there exists a fixed category section in an app. But there may occur a situation where, due to some reasons, new topics get added, and there comes a demand for a new category. Our developers comprehended the scenario and hence, developed a dynamic menu where addition or subtraction of types could be done quickly through the admin panel.
The increase in internet usage leads to decrease in the quality and speed of the internet. And due to the same reason, the quality of videos has suffered a setback. The team at RavStack managed to develop customized Web Services. These web services render the stored videos directly into smartphone devices to enjoy the best video performance.
The language was one of the significant barriers faced by the client. To let that hinderance go away, we developed the complete interface in the Hindi Language as well. A user can now select between English and Hindi, and the whole app would get customized according to that language.
We used Microservices Pattern as our software architecture. This pattern made the application more scalable. Also, each of the workings was differentiated from the other one to ensure efficiency and effectiveness. It helped in the secure deployment of individual services.
It has excellent cloud capabilities, and hence there is no need to invest anything extra in buying the storage. AWS also provides an environment for networking, storage, server, middleware, operating system, and runtime. It also made 3rd Party API extensions integration possible.
To manage the subscriptions, we used the Zoho Subscription management solution. It offered a comprehensive subscription management solution, which included recurring billing, security features, and subscription automation.
With the use of Python and C++, the implementation of business logic was smooth and efficient. To make the app solution responsive, scalable, and fast, our team made the use of Nginx technology for video load balancing.
Along with online streaming, we made the app in such a way that it can allow the recording and watching of recently shot videos stored in the scalable database. Moreover, users are now able to save the camera shootings as files in the computer system.
Videos can be of multiple types. Some videos are not for children. So, our developers created a system where age restriction could be imposed on some of the videos for security purposes.
With the official launch of the app, the hard work of the team bore its fruit. We achieved all the targets decided before making the application. Not only was the streaming quality better, but its reach went farther from our expectations with the holistic approach, the application carried.
Within seven days, the number of uploads went up to the count of 10,000. The users were seen aggressively active on the platform, and the app seemed to connect the talent with the need.
All thanks to the insanely creative development team of RavStack.
