The Religion Business is a powerful investigative docuseries exploring the intersection of faith and finance. The creators needed a secure, high-performance digital platform to launch their content globally and monetize it directly through their own website.
We delivered a custom platform that enables seamless monetization, cross-device compatibility, and full creator control over distribution and user experience.

Our solution

This project was developed in partnership with The Creative Bomb, a USA-based agency that selected us as their technology partner to bring the project to life.
 

We built a fully customized streaming experience. On the frontend, we developed a responsive web application using Next.js, optimized for performance and SEO. For the backend, we implemented a custom infrastructure to manage content delivery and user interaction.

To handle payments securely, we integrated Stripe for purchasing access to the show. We used Firebase Authentication to manage user sign-ups and login flows, ensuring a smooth and secure user experience. The core of the platform is powered by Mux, which allows seamless streaming with full DRM protection, including support for Apple FairPlay and Google Chromecast, ensuring content is both accessible and protected against unauthorized distribution.

Users can watch the show on any device, while content creators retain full control over the user experience, monetization strategy, and distribution.
