Challenge

Users, Admins, and Sub-Admins each having their dashboards, also varied permissions, and different ways of doing their work introduced a high level of complexity in access control and feature segregation.

When it came to so many users being online at the time, how to cope with and also manage text messaging, video calling, and the live broadcasting of podcasts, to happen without time lag and service work not to mention functionality.

Managing user-generated content, including posts, reels, and live streams, while preventing abusive content and maintaining community safety.

Setting up the distribution of subscriptions on different levels, the implementation of purchases using the coin-based system and making the payouts to creators visible to everyone without seeing any mistakes or being involved in any fraudulent activities.

Providing support to the expanding number of relationships between users and their activities and to the growing amount of content available on our application in such a way that the app’s performance is not affected in any way.

Ensuring a consistent experience across Android, iOS, and the web admin panel without compromising technology stacks.

Allowing creators to earn from users who purchase and view their exclusive content using coins, which can be bought directly within the app, eliminating the need for complex manual payment handling.

It is timely to deliver information to users about matches, content updates, and live events without overloading the servers.

Solution

The system was created with the help of role-based access control (RBAC) and the dashboards did not change, which means that each role was able to do the tasks that it should have done in the safe way while being well integrated with the system.

The chosen solution was to set up a system that heavily relied on WebSocket technology for real-time communication between the server and clients. Additionally, another step taken was the use of load balancers and the proper configuration of the streaming pipeline.

We have created a series of moderation tools that will act as a filter for keywords, an artificial intelligence module capable of scanning content, reporting tools, and a panel for administrative reviews to guarantee the safety of the interaction, helping us to develop dating apps in France and worldwide.

The system ensures secure and seamless payments through in-app purchases, allowing users to easily buy and renew their subscriptions each month. Instead of using virtual wallets, the app enables direct transactions within the platform and provides real-time updates on subscription status and payment history for complete transparency.

The application utilizes a cloud-native, horizontally scalable structure, incorporating caching, a CDN integration, and database sharding, to ensure top-notch performance even under heavy load situations.

Utilization of the same design systems, shared APIs, and synchronization of feature updates across all platforms, along with AI in dating, to guarantee the UX is user-friendly and seamless.

 Integrating a digital wallet and a coin system, manual payout calculation, dashboards, and multi-tiered access for premium content.

By using an event-driven notification system having push notifications, in-app pop-ups, and batching for high engagement, the team has achieved the goal.
