The Challenge

Of course, content aggregation and management were among the most challenging things for the team while developing a podcast app. Managing an extensive and constantly challenging database is quite tricky for any development team, but our developers made it happen easily with the help of a robust Content Management System (CMS). Other challenges along the development cycle were UI/UX design, streamlining and downloading the podcasts, and offline playback.

The Solution

For managing the extensive database of the podcasts of various artists and leaders, we took the help of a robust CMS along with Backend APIs offered by the podcast directories. To deliver a friendly and easy UI/UX, we gave much time to the designing part and conducted usability tests before proceeding with the further process. We devised a download manager for offline playback to streamline the episodes even when the user is out of the connectivity zone.

UI/UX Design

Design is the core of any mobile application. Our mobile app development team spent a good time researching and implementing a friendly podcast app design. Also, conducted usability testing to ensure smooth functioning and navigation of the app. We finally developed an exciting app design format that proves highly affirmative and engaging for podcast listeners.

Development & Launch

Post-design, our full-stack development team was busy developing the podcast application by streamlining a large number of podcast databases. We wanted to deliver clean, efficient, and scalable code that can be easily edited in the future for app improvements and upgrades. Finally, we developed a worthwhile product for the online music and media industry and made it LIVE.

Security Practices Implemented

There are various aspects of security taken care of. They include Network security, Data security, Cloud Security, Application Security, and Endpoint security.

Data Encryption

Encrypted the data both in transit and at rest by using methods like full disk encryption and Encrypted web connection(HTTP protocol with SSL certificate.

oAuth 2.0

oAUTH2.0 helps prevent maliious attacks orchestrated by unauthorized users and makes sure that system is accessed by only authorized and authenticated users.

AWS Firewall

Configured Firewalls on AWS instances and databases to allow limited access.

Source code obfuscation

Implemented Source code obfuscation practices to make the source-code in unreadable format, and so it would be difficult to temper or reverse engineer the released app’s executable file.

Automated Backup and Rollback

Configured cloud instances to take backup at regular intervals and so a particular version can be rolled back when required automatically.
