“FastPix gave us the full UGC stack. Resumable upload SDKs across web and mobile, moderation on encode, and analytics for every playback. We did not have to build any of it.”

Challenge
01
Mobile uploads
UGC uploads come from mobile networks; failures kill upload completion rates.
02
Moderation
Auto-moderation had to fire on encode, not after publish, to keep the feed clean.
03
Creator analytics
Per-creator analytics needed to flow into the creator dashboard, not a separate tool.
Solution
Chunked + resumable upload across Web + iOS + Android; survives network drops.
Upload SDK →In-Video AI flags unsafe content during the encoding step, before the asset becomes playable.
NSFW moderation →creator_id as a custom dimension; analytics roll up to the creator dashboard.
Video Data →Mobile-first player with feed-style autoplay and per-clip scrub.
FastPix Player →Integration pattern
// React Native: resumable chunked upload from a creator's phone
import { upload } from "@fastpix/upload";
await upload({
endpoint: uploadUrl, // from fp.assets.createUpload()
file: pickedVideoFile,
chunkSizeMb: 4, // smaller chunks for cellular
onProgress: (pct) => setProgress(pct),
onError: (err) => retryFromLastChunk(err),
});More patterns in /developers and the language-specific SDK guides.
Outcomes
01
Full UGC stack
Full UGC pipeline live without staffing a video team.
02
Safe feed
Auto-moderation catches unsafe content before it appears in the feed.
03
Creator insights
Per-creator analytics surface directly in the creator dashboard.

“What was also great about the FastPix team is it felt like we were all working together. They felt like part of our team, not just vendors. They were with us every step of the way, from brainstorming to execution. That has been great.”
Kaushik Das
Founder & CEO at AaoNXT
“We considered our options and decided on FastPix because: very fast uploads and delivery; having more of the infrastructure and features we needed, including the in-built deep analytics and web and mobile player, in one place, as opposed to say AWS or Kaltura, reduced the complexity for us.”
