Project Summary

Sombra updated and extended a cloud-based video streaming distribution platform, building a broadcast scheduler and improving cross-platform streaming. They used user feedback and existing code to add features, perform routine updates, and stabilize the service. Their thorough testing and development work eliminated app crashes during high traffic and produced reliable, responsive results.

Key Challenges

Modernize and add features to core in-house code
Implement a broadcast scheduler and enable cross-platform streaming
Ensure platform stability under high traffic and usage fluctuations

Project Deliverables

Broadcast scheduler
Platform components and feature updates
Bug fixes and ongoing maintenance
Streaming and real-time messaging integration for iOS, Android, and TV devices
Deployment on Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Project Solution

Sombra built the platform's broadcast scheduler and continued to build and enhance existing platform components. They perform regular bug fixes and feature updates executed every few months, and implemented streaming and real-time messaging protocols to transform content for iOS, Android, and streaming TV devices. The platform was built and hosted using Amazon Web Services.

Project Outcome

No crashes under high traffic loads in the last year
Only one database capacity issue identified, attributed to insufficient server capacity rather than code
Increased platform stability and reliable performance across devices
