About The Project

This project mimics core features present in YouTube. It allows users to sign in via Google, upload videos, and view other uploaded videos. I primarily built it as a learning experience for full stack app development.

Architecture

1. Cloud Storage stores the raw and processed videos uploaded by users.
2. Pub/Sub sends messages to the video processing service.
3. Cloud Run hosts a non-public video processing service. After it transcodes videos, they are uploaded to Cloud Storage.
4. Cloud Firestore stores the metadata for the videos.
5. Cloud Run hosts a Next.js app, which serves as the Youtube web client.
6. The Next.js app makes API calls to Firebase Functions.
7. Firebase Functions fetches videos from Cloud Firestore and returns them.
