MLM Media Platform
Media-rich real-time networking platform with advanced video processing
Core Problem Statement
"Managing multi-level networking hierarchies while concurrently processing heavy media files required a stable system that prevents main-thread blocking and delivers high-performance streaming."
Architectural Implementation
Decoupled client-server architecture utilizing a React/Vite SPA and an Express/Node.js REST API. Integrates Socket.io for real-time updates and FFmpeg for server-side video processing.
Engineering Deep Dive
Detailed review of tradeoffs, database models, scaling strategies, and microservices
Structural Trade-offs & Decisions
Directly executing FFmpeg in the backend reduces deployment complexity but requires careful CPU management compared to separate worker tiers.
Context & Constraints
- Engineered for complex hierarchical networking structures.
- Requires robust media processing without blocking application flow.
- Deep observability integrated to monitor system health in real-time.
Database Modeling & Storage Strategy
Document-based metadata for processed media assets and flexible schemas for user downline hierarchies.
