The challenge
The client came to us with a clear goal — podcasts with premium episodes and listener analytics. The hard part was traffic spikes during live moments.
Our approach
We started with a short discovery sprint to map the users, the data and the constraints, then moved into weekly cycles with working software in a shared workspace. Prototyping, Development, Support and Consulting ran as one team, so research fed design and design fed engineering without handoffs.
The platform was built on Streaming, Mobile and Payments, with automated tests and monitoring from the first release.
The result
5M monthly listens. The product launched in 20 weeks and we stayed on for the releases that followed — fixing what users tripped over and doubling down on what they loved.
