In the world of online video delivery, time is everything. The longer it takes to launch a product, the more opportunities are missed. But getting a high-quality streaming app to market quickly can be a challenge, especially when dealing with the complexities of integrating video players, analytics, and ensuring seamless performance across multiple platforms.
That’s where our partnership with Mux comes into play.
The Challenge
Many companies face a critical bottleneck in the development process—integrating video players and analytics systems that are both reliable and scalable. This integration often requires significant time and resources, which can delay launches and increase costs. These delays can be excruciating when trying to stand out in a crowded market, where user experience is key to retaining viewers.
Why It Matters
Viewers expect flawless streaming experiences with minimal buffering and high-quality playback, regardless of the device they’re using. Failing to meet these expectations can result in high churn rates, damaging both your reputation and bottom line. The pressure to get it right from day one can be overwhelming, especially when the technical complexity of integration slows down your team and delays your time to market.
Our Solution
At 2Coders, we’ve simplified this process through our integration with Mux. By embedding the Mux player and analytics directly into our SDK-based frontend apps, Velvet, we’ve created a pre-integrated solution that drastically reduces the time it takes to launch a streaming service. This integration offers reliable, high-quality video delivery with real-time performance insights, allowing you to focus on your content while we handle the technical complexities.
But our collaboration with Mux goes beyond just integration. We’ve also developed a Mux video WordPress plugin, making it easier for content creators and developers to integrate Mux’s video services directly into their WordPress sites. This plugin streamlines the setup process, giving you access to the same powerful video infrastructure without the need for extensive development work.
Our pre-integrated solutions offer a significant advantage for companies looking to get their streaming platforms up and running quickly. The rapid time-to-market reduces costs and ensures that your streaming service can launch with confidence, knowing it’s backed by industry-leading technology. Whether you’re targeting a global audience or niche markets, our Velvet platform, powered by Mux, ensures that your viewers get the best experience possible.
By the time an organization has solid code QA in place, content QA is still running on prayer and manual spot-checks.
Frequently asked questions
Does the testing pyramid work for streaming apps?
The testing pyramid was designed for applications where the UI is determined by code. For streaming apps powered by a headless CMS, it’s the wrong model. Content changes constantly (without a code release) and a test suite built on static content assumptions will break or give false confidence the moment editorial publishes something unexpected. The Testing Diamond inverts the priority, placing schema and contract validation at the centre rather than unit tests at the base.
