Maintaining a good performance (immediate application response to the users) when a lot of calculation should be done at the same time.

A separate microservice with the possibility to aggregate the information from several other microservices was developed. Some calculations were developed as asynchronous + global leaderboards were moved to the cron job approach (data update 1 time in 10 minutes).

Development of the custom back-office is a difficult task which can be considered as a separate project task with the estimation of 500+ hours.

Investigated and found an open source CMS solution with which we were able to integrate in order to push application data to it. The estimation for the back-office part was reduced up to 3 times and CMS already contained basic functionalities.

Development of the video player functionality is 1000+ hours.

Post-launch, the platform experienced peak traffic periods with over 10,000 concurrent users, and the robust infrastructure efficiently handled this load without performance degradation.

Thanks to the microservice's architecture, the development team was able to roll out new features 60% faster compared to industry standards, keeping the app fresh and competitive.

Users generated over 300,000 minutes of video content within the first month, creating a rich content base for new users and contributing to the app's viral growth.

The successful launch and promising growth metrics attracted interest from several venture capital firms, with the app securing a substantial investment for future expansion.

The platform successfully fostered a community, with users actively participating in challenges, creating over 20,000 community groups, and engaging in over 500,000 interactions (likes, comments, shares) within the initial months.

The app caught the attention of various brands interested in collaborating on marketing campaigns, with over 15 partnerships established in the first quarter, contributing to revenue and user engagement.
