Media software development.
Custom media and entertainment software - OTT streaming, video platforms, subscription sites, creator tools, and ad-tech infrastructure. Built to stream, monetize, and scale.
IRPR.io builds software for media and entertainment operators - OTT streaming services, creator platforms, subscription news and media sites, ad-tech infrastructure, and live-streaming tools.
We integrate with Mux, Cloudflare Stream, JW Player, AWS Elemental, Brightcove, and major DRM providers. Our engineers know the difference between 'works in the demo' and 'survives a product-launch stream with 100K concurrent viewers.'
Tell us what kind of content, who the audience is, and how you monetize - we'll tell you what to build and what CDN bills to expect.

Who hires us for media & entertainment software.
What makes media & entertainment software hard.
CDN bills scale linearly.
Streaming costs compound with usage. Architecture choices define your unit economics forever.
DRM is mandatory for premium content.
Widevine, FairPlay, PlayReady - all three for broad device reach.
Piracy is a constant threat.
Tokenized URLs, geo-blocking, and watermarking are baseline.
Peak load is the real test.
Launch events and finales spike traffic 10-100x.
Discovery decides engagement.
Personalization, search, and recommendations are product features.
The regulatory stack we ship against.
Privacy laws
Consumer data for personalized media.
Consent, DSRs, and deletion on day one.
Media software built to stream and scale.
100K concurrent viewers is a good day or a bad day - depending on your architecture.
Media products live or die at peak. Launch events, breaking news, finales - systems that don't scale lose the moment. We engineer for peaks, not averages.
DRM, CDN, subscriptions, recommendations - every media product needs them.
How we build media software.
Four stages. Scale and monetization in every one.
What ships with every media build.
