Industry stakes

Online press cannot afford to fail on breaking news

A high-audience media has constraints few sectors share: unpredictable traffic peaks on breaking news, editorial workflows that tolerate no latency, vital SEO for discovery, subscription monetization that must convert without friction.

The most underestimated issue: an architecture that holds in normal times but cracks when a topic explodes. Newsrooms pay dearly for these incidents — in lost traffic, credibility and canceled subscriptions.

Our approach

Media platforms that scale without human intervention during hot periods

We build media platforms with strict read/write separation, aggressive CDN caching, performant search indexes, and publishing pipelines that absorb 100 articles/day from an active newsroom.

Our work with Le Monde gave us experience with the real constraints of a high-traffic media. We know what breaks when a topic goes viral and how to anticipate it — before being in the middle of the incident.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, we audit the existing setup and propose a progressive takeover strategy (component-by-component replacement, not big bang). A well-done media migration preserves historical URLs, SEO redirects and partner integrations.

Legacy isn't a problem, it's a reality we handle. A takeover often costs less than a full rebuild.

It depends on your model: metered paywall (N free articles/month), freemium (paid premium content), hard paywall (mandatory subscription). Poool and Piano are excellent solutions to iterate fast.

For specific needs or high volumes, a custom paywall offers more control and lower long-term recurring costs.

Aggressive CDN caching (Cloudflare, Fastly), static pre-rendering of articles, strict editor/reader environment separation, async queues for events. Well-designed, these systems absorb 10x regular traffic without intervention.

We systematically load-test before putting a media architecture in production.
