🎥 Serverless Video Streaming Platform

This project is a scalable, serverless video streaming platform designed to manage courses, upload and transcode videos, and stream them using HLS (HTTP Live Streaming). It leverages AWS services such as Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, SQS, ECS (Fargate), and Cognito.


🚀 Features

  • Admin Panel to create courses and upload videos
  • Secure Presigned Upload to S3 via Lambda
  • Automatic Video Transcoding to HLS in multiple resolutions
  • Efficient Video Metadata Management using DynamoDB
  • Playback Support using HLS-compatible players
  • Fully Serverless & Scalable using AWS-managed services

This is a [Next.js](https://nextjs.org) project bootstrapped with [`create-next-app`](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/cli/create-next-app).

## Getting Started

First, run the development server:

```bash
npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev
# or
bun dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing the page by modifying app/page.tsx. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

This project uses next/font to automatically optimize and load Geist, a new font family for Vercel.
