/ The challenge

Four products that would normally be stitched together.

Commerce, membership, chat and meetings each wanted their own login, their own idea of who had paid, and their own servers.

Where it had to run

One platform, four products

/ Our approach

One identity, one backbone.

  1. 01

    One identity

    One account across commerce, membership, chat and meetings.

  2. 02

    Live entitlements

    Access derived from current subscription state, not a snapshot at login.

  3. 03

    One real time backbone

    Chat and meetings on the same live connection.

  4. 04

    Decoupled services

    A fault in one feature area does not spread to the others.

In their words

We used to run four products and reconcile them by hand. Now a member pays and everything they are entitled to just works.
