Project Overview

The Challenge

CasesGG needed a mobile platform capable of handling 500K+ concurrent users engaging in real-time activities with instant visual feedback. The app required ultra-smooth animations even during sound streams and live events, with zero lag tolerance for user interactions.

Our Approach

We built a high-performance React Native app leveraging React Native Reanimated and Skia for native-level performance. Complex animations run at 60 FPS on the UI thread while sound streams play simultaneously without dropping frames. Real-time features use WebSocket connections with optimistic UI updates for instant feedback.

Technical Architecture

High-Performance UI with React Native

  • React Native Reanimated 3: All animations run on the UI thread at 60 FPS, even during intensive sound streaming. Gesture-driven interactions with spring physics for natural feel.
  • React Native Skia: GPU-accelerated canvas rendering for complex visual effects, particle systems, and custom graphics without performance degradation.
  • Sound Stream + Animations: Simultaneous high-quality audio streaming and 60 FPS animations without dropped frames through worklet-based architecture.
  • Optimistic Updates: Instant UI feedback with rollback capability for seamless user experience during network operations.

Real-Time Infrastructure

  • WebSocket Connections: Persistent connections handling real-time events with automatic reconnection and state sync.
  • CloudFlare Workers: Edge computing for ultra-low latency responses and global distribution.
  • AWS Infrastructure: Scalable backend services with auto-scaling and load balancing.
  • Anti-Fraud Systems: Real-time monitoring and automated threat detection to ensure platform integrity.

Production Reliability

  • Sentry Error Tracking: Real-time crash reporting with source maps for instant debugging and resolution.
  • Expo OTA Updates: Deploy critical fixes and improvements instantly without app store approval.
  • Performance Monitoring: Track FPS, memory usage, and network performance across all user sessions.

Maintenance & Support

  • Continuous Monitoring: 24/7 uptime monitoring with automated alerts for any performance degradation or errors.
  • Regular Updates: Weekly dependency updates and monthly feature releases to keep the app secure and modern.
  • Performance Optimization: Ongoing analysis and optimization of bundle size, memory usage, and rendering performance.
  • Dedicated Support: Direct communication channel with development team for rapid issue resolution and feature requests.
