Project Summary

Empat provided backend development and product engineering for a livestreaming platform, rewriting the backend from a legacy .NET stack to PHP Laravel, building core streaming and monetization features, and integrating with the existing frontend. They ran product discovery workshops, redesigned the database, developed APIs and real-time streaming logic, and performed QA and load testing. The client reported a stable Laravel roadmap, improved decision-making, and excellent project management and responsiveness.

Key Challenges

  • Take over and stabilize product development after a previous unsuccessful vendor
  • Rebuild the backend from an existing .NET codebase into PHP Laravel for maintainability
  • Collaborate on product logic and feature prioritization to deliver a monetizable MVP for live streaming

Project Deliverables

  • Product discovery and logic workshops
  • Backend re-architecture and full rebuild in PHP Laravel
  • Database redesign and API development
  • Real-time streaming support logic and core streaming features (private 1-on-1 sessions, location-based requests, monetization flows, external-device streaming)
  • Integration with existing frontend and API consistency improvements
  • QA: functional, regression, performance/load testing and test case creation; MVP launch preparation

Project Solution

Empat took over a troubled project, reviewed the legacy .NET backend, and jointly decided to rewrite the backend in PHP Laravel to align with the client's long-term strategy. They conducted product discovery and logic workshops, re-architected and redeveloped backend services (including database redesign and API development), implemented real-time streaming support and monetization/access-control logic, integrated with the partially developed frontend, and performed QA and performance testing to prepare for an MVP launch.

Project Outcome

  • A clear and stable Laravel backend roadmap replacing the previous .NET stack while maintaining frontend compatibility
  • Key monetization and access-control logic designed and under implementation
  • Accelerated product decision-making and regained development confidence after prior vendor setbacks
  • Consistent on-time delivery, strong project management, and high responsiveness
