Lookcam

The challenge

Lookcam needed its own API, web and mobile apps while avoiding a second, competing implementation of the ingest and delivery pipeline Streamway already runs.

Results

A fully independent product team ships web, mobile and chat features without ever touching Streamway's ingest code, and without re-solving problems Streamway had already solved.

What we built

• A Go API that publishes into Streamway's ingest pipeline via an outbox pattern, enforced by a CI check that blocks any leaked internal streaming abstraction
• A Next.js 15 App Router web app with Polish as the default locale, and the video player forced client-side only to avoid SSR/hydration issues
• An Expo / React Native mobile app sharing the same backend and design language as the web app
• Firestore for live session state and ClickHouse for viewer analytics at scale
