Building a real-time audio platform at scale comes with non-trivial challenges:

• Maintaining low-latency live streaming across varying network conditions

• Designing a backend capable of handling concurrent listeners

• Ensuring fault tolerance and system stability during live sessions

• Managing asynchronous communication between services

• Structuring a clean, maintainable codebase across frontend and backend

We implemented a distributed, event-driven architecture combined with a clean and modular codebase.

Key architectural decisions:

• Adopted Clean Architecture across frontend and backend for maintainability

• Built a Go-based high-performance API layer using Gin

• Integrated event streaming (Kafka) for asynchronous processing

• Used Redis caching to reduce database load and improve response times

• Implemented MediaMTX for real-time audio streaming

• Enabled MQTT (EMQX) for real-time communication channels

This approach ensured the system remains scalable, resilient, and performant under load.

• EMQX (MQTT) for real-time messaging

Caching

• Redis for caching and session handling

Infrastructure & DevOps

• Docker for containerization

• Kubernetes for orchestration and scaling

• Traefik for ingress, routing, and load balancing

Monitoring

• Firebase Crashlytics for real-time error tracking

• Delivered a stable, low-latency live streaming experience

• Achieved high reliability during concurrent live sessions

• Built a scalable infrastructure ready for growth

• Reduced system load through caching and event-driven processing

• Established a clean, maintainable codebase for long-term development

The platform demonstrates how a modern, cloud-native architecture can be leveraged to deliver real-time media experiences on mobile devices.

By combining streaming, messaging, and scalable infrastructure, the app provides a seamless and reliable listening experience for users across different regions.
