Problem

Melodicity, a web-based music streaming platform, was developed to cater to both creators and listeners. The platform aimed to provide a space for independent creators to showcase their talent while offering music enthusiasts the opportunity to explore and enjoy a wide range of musical genres. However, the team faced several challenges in developing the platform.

The primary challenge was implementing an effective recommendation system that would keep listeners engaged. Additionally, the team had to consider various monetization options and ensure that they had the necessary licenses and agreements in place for distributing and streaming music without violating copyright laws. Finally, scalability and infrastructure were also significant concerns as the user base grew.

Solution

To address these challenges, the team at Melodicity implemented several solutions. First, they developed a robust recommendation algorithm that used collaborative filtering and content-based filtering to suggest music based on user preferences and behavior. This helped keep listeners engaged with the platform.

Secondly, the team explored various monetization options such as subscriptions, ads, and partnerships with record labels or brands. They also ensured that they had all necessary licenses and agreements in place for distributing and streaming music without violating copyright laws.

Finally, scalability and infrastructure were addressed by ensuring that the platform's infrastructure could handle increased traffic and data storage demands as its user base grew.
