Develop a Netflix-Style Video Streaming Platform

Delivering high-quality video content to users in real time requires optimized media handling, secure user management, and scalable backend architecture. Building a Netflix-like platform means ensuring fast loading times, smooth video playback, subscription management, and engaging UI/UX design.

By combining cloud storage, CDN distribution, adaptive bitrate streaming, and secure access control, a modern video streaming platform can deliver a seamless viewing experience. Users can browse, subscribe, watch trailers, and stream full-length videos across devices with minimal buffering.

Videos are uploaded by the admin, processed into multiple resolutions, stored in cloud buckets, and distributed through a CDN. Users browse categories, subscribe, and stream videos. Adaptive streaming ensures optimal quality delivery, and secure DRM-like protections prevent piracy or unauthorized downloads.

• Admins upload and encode videos into multiple formats (240p, 480p, 720p, 1080p).
• Videos are stored on cloud storage (AWS S3, Firebase Storage) and linked to CDN for fast delivery.
• Users register, choose subscription plans, and access content based on their plan limits.
• Streaming is managed using HLS/DASH protocols for adaptive playback on different devices.
• Secure login, subscription validation, and payment integration are handled in the backend.

• AWS CloudFront for Streaming
• Video.js Open-Source Video Player
• Stripe Subscription API Documentation
