Token & Media Engineered for High-Volume Digital Content Platform
A high-volume platform teamed with Muoro for token tracking and Azure transcoding, boosting trust, cutting costs, and simplifying operations.Business Goals
Mission
Enable token-level traceability and shift transcoding from AWS to Azure without sacrificing reliability or platform transparency.
Challenge
Token reuse and cascading ownership lacked visibility. Media services couldn’t scale cost-effectively on Azure.
Need
The client needed end-to-end token tracking and a self-managed transcoding system tailored for Azure.
About Client
Our client runs a digital marketplace for buying, selling, and consuming media using platform-specific tokens.
As the platform scaled, they faced key friction points:
- Token movements weren’t traceable across users
- Sellers reusing earned tokens created ownership confusion
- AWS media services were costly and couldn’t migrate easily
- Azure lacked out-of-the-box tools for screenshots and transcoding
They needed a transparent, cost-effective backend system with full control and reliability.
The Challenge
The platform needed to address four core limitations:
Token Ownership Unclear
Tokens used across multiple purchases lost identity, making ownership disputes common.
Cascading Reuse Broke Logic
Users reusing earned tokens created gaps in transaction history and trust.
AWS Stack Was Costly
Advanced features on AWS didn’t translate to Azure, raising migration concerns.
No Screenshot Support
Azure lacked automated screenshot capture vital for media previews.
The Muoro Solution
Muoro deployed a backend team to deliver token-level visibility and a custom transcoding engine on Azure.
Token Traceability Enabled
We introduced a bifurcated token system, each token is now tracked individually across purchase, spend, and reuse cycles.
Cascading Logic Built In
All ownership changes are logged, giving users and admins full visibility into who owned and used each token.
Custom Azure Transcoding
Using FFmpeg + Ruby, we replaced AWS media workflows with a cost-effective, in-house system.
All Technologies Used
Final Outcome
Muoro helped the client build a transparent, scalable token system and migrate media services to Azure without breaking core functionality.
Now, users trust transactions, media previews run reliably, and the backend scales with reduced cost and complexity.
Solving Complex Backend Problems?
From custom payment logic to cloud media workflows, Muoro builds the engineering teams that deliver at scale.
