Weyyak Case Study
Weyyak is a leading OTT platform designed to deliver high-quality on-demand media content to users across multiple devices. The platform needed a robust, scalable infrastructure capable of handling millions of users while ensuring seamless performance and cost efficiency.
Our team was tasked with building the OTT platform from scratch, migrating from a monolithic architecture to microservices, optimizing database performance, integrating payments, and managing cloud migrations.
Challenges
- 01
Scalability Issues
Weyyak required a platform that could handle rapid user growth across different devices such as Smart TVs, iOS, Android, and web applications.
- 02
Monolithic Architecture Limitations
The existing architecture was monolithic, making it difficult to scale and update without downtime.
- 03
Cloud and Database Performance
The system needed a migration to the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) from AWS for better performance, alongside a database migration from SQL Server to PostgreSQL.
- 04
Cost Optimization
Cloud services and database costs were becoming prohibitive, necessitating optimizations.
- 05
Content Management and Payments
The platform needed a CMS for content management, an admin panel, and a reliable payment integration system with dashboards for tracking transactions.
Solutions (OTT platform):
- 01
Building from Scratch with Microservices Architecture:
We designed and built Weyyak’s OTT platform from scratch, implementing a microservices-based architecture. This allowed for easy scalability, better system resilience, and faster deployment of updates.
- 02
Platform and Device Support:
Developed a native experience for Smart TVs, iOS, Android, and web applications, ensuring that users could access the platform from any device seamlessly. Each platform received device-optimized features like smooth content streaming, easy navigation, and user-friendly UI.
- 03
Content Management System (CMS) and Admin Panel:
A CMS was built to allow the Weyyak team to manage and control all content on the platform efficiently. An admin panel was created for backend operations, enabling administrators to manage users, monitor platform performance, and oversee content ingestion.
- 04
Payment Integration & Dashboard:
We integrated a secure payment system with a comprehensive dashboard for tracking and managing transactions. This system supports multiple payment methods, ensuring a smooth and secure user payment experience.
- 05
Cloud Migration from AWS to GCP:
To reduce costs and improve platform performance, we migrated the entire system from AWS to GCP, using Kubernetes for automated deployments and scalable infrastructure. This transition ensured minimal downtime while maintaining high performance.
- 06
Database Migration & Optimization:
We migrated the database from SQL Server to PostgreSQL, which resulted in improved query performance and reduced operational costs. Additionally, ongoing database optimizations were performed to handle growing data volumes without slowing down the system.
- 07
Ongoing Maintenance and Support:
After the platform went live, we provided continuous maintenance and support for both AWS and GCP, ensuring the platform remained secure, up-to-date, and cost-effective.
