Video Streaming Application

Description

This project is a video streaming application developed from scratch using Node.js, MongoDB, JWT, bcrypt, and Cloudinary. It allows users to create accounts, upload videos, and customize their profiles with avatar and cover photos. The application securely manages user authentication and authorization using JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and bcrypt to protect user credentials and control access to restricted endpoints. Cloudinary API is integrated for storing and serving videos and avatar cover photos, ensuring scalability and efficient delivery of multimedia content. The application exposes RESTful APIs for user registration, login, video uploading, profile customization, and fetching video content. Error handling and validation techniques are employed to enhance the robustness and reliability of the application. Additionally, the application is deployed on a cloud platform to ensure high availability and scalability to accommodate increasing user demand.
