Educational Streaming Site (Backend) 🔙

This backend is built using Spring Boot and provides APIs for user authentication, user management, content management, etc. It integrates with AWS services like S3, Elastic Transcoder and CloudFront for scalable storage, secure video uploading, and content distribution. Spring Security has been configured for role-based access control, to secure API endpoints, and encryption of passwords. CORS has also been configured to enable secure communication between the frontend and backend.
