Project Summary

A television company engaged Agile Freaks to build and maintain core streaming technology, including backend APIs, native mobile apps and Roku-specific development.

Their work improved deployment cadence and mobile app ratings while maintaining high system reliability.

  • Modernize a legacy PHP stack that was breaking multiple times per week
  • Improve deployment frequency and mobile app quality and ratings

Project Deliverables

  • Backend API and AWS architecture
  • Rebuilt backend stack using Ruby and test-driven development

Project Solution
