Custom Token & Media Platform Engineered for a Global Content Marketplace
Global platform partnered with Muoro to build a token system and move transcoding to Azure, cutting costs, boosting reliability, and client control.Business Goals
Mission
Build token-level transparency and migrate media workflows from AWS to Azure—without compromising performance or user trust.
Challenge
The platform lacked accountability in token usage and faced infrastructure gaps during cloud migration.
Need
They required a backend system for traceable token reuse, and a custom Azure-based transcoding solution with automation and error handling.
About Client
Our client runs a large-scale digital content marketplace with thousands of daily users transacting through platform-specific tokens.
As the platform scaled, limitations in backend architecture surfaced:
- Token usage couldn’t be tracked across buyers and sellers
- Sellers reusing tokens broke ownership history
- AWS transcoding wasn’t cost-efficient or Azure-compatible
- Screenshot generation and batch processing were unreliable
To scale confidently, they needed transparency, automation, and cost-effective infrastructure.
The Challenge
Despite platform growth, four backend gaps created delivery risks:
Token History Missing
Users couldn’t trace how tokens were earned, reused, or transferred.
No Reuse Accountability
Sellers reusing tokens created breaks in audit trails and ownership logic.
Azure Migration Gaps
Built-in transcoding tools on Azure didn’t match AWS capabilities.
Error-Prone Workflows
Screenshot capture and batch media processing lacked automation and stability.
The Muoro Solution
Muoro deployed a backend team to re-engineer token tracking and build a scalable media engine on Azure.
Token Reuse Traceable
We bifurcated tokens into individual units and logged their full lifecycle—purchase, usage, and transfer, ensuring platform-wide auditability.
Ownership Records Maintained
Custom logic preserved seller-side token reuse without compromising visibility, building trust and reducing disputes.
Azure Workflows Rebuilt
We used Ruby and FFmpeg to replicate AWS media features,transcoding, screenshots, and error-managed batch jobs, all hosted on Azure.
Final Outcome
Muoro built a future-ready backend system with:
- A token architecture optimized for traceability and auditability
- A custom transcoding engine hosted fully on Azure
- Fewer dependencies and greater control over platform infrastructure
- A transparent, scalable foundation for marketplace growth
