Technical Expertise

API KARAFUN

The core of our product

The product:

to offer our Karafun apps, that have grown steadily since 2011, on a growing number of platforms (IOS,Windows, Mac, Android, Android TV, FireTV...)

The challenge:

each evolution must ensure a perfect backwards compatibility with the older versions of our applications. With peaks occurring every weekend and especially towards the holidays, performance and cache management are particularly important.

CONTENT-MANAGER

Our Karaoke factory

The product:

from the content created by our production team, our file generation tool produces all the file formats used by our customers (mp3, karaoke videos, streamable karaoke ...).

The challenge:

entirely developed in PHP, using standard tools in audio/video management, distributed on a computer farm with a dozen recycled computers (it's more eco-friendly!), it has to generate several thousand files for our users every day.

FRAMEWORK

Made in KaraFun

The product:

the basis of our tech stack: ORM, Routing, Internationalization, Caching are all features present that we use on a daily basis.

The challenge:

making sure the framework evolves regularly to increase our productivity every day in our developments and to stay within current standards.

Remote management of our applications

REMOTE

Remote management of our applications

The product:

a remote management system of the KaraFun app via a browser, that can control the different volumes, the songs played during the evening, add photos…

The challenge:

to develop this system to allow more customers to use this feature, to transform the KaraFun app into an effective remote control (to be able to control the KaraFun app on AndroidTV via the KaraFun app from your phone and not from your browser) but also to be able to push information from our backend to the apps.

AMBIANCE

Our animation software for Karaoke Box

The product:

for our first karaoke bar based in Lille, we developed our own karaoke room management system, it included, among other things, a system of light management that was adapted to the music and other services adapted to the karaoke box: photography, in-room control, A/C control…

The challenge:

a real automated system, this software was developed by KaraFun's back-end team who went out of its way while doing what they do best: PHP and Node JS, all to offer an immersive concert experience to our singers.

AMBIANCE FOR BUSINESS

Making our karaoke box Plug&Play

The product:

our karaoke box management software, adapted to serve our KaraFun Business offering.

The challenge:

to adapt the software for use in an external setting, to simplify the installation and the setup, but also to improve compatibility with hardware that we do not currently use (touchscreen, wifi...).
