Video Streaming Backend
Part of the Backend Developer Roadmap
In short
A backend supporting video upload and streaming — practice for handling large files, streaming responses, and range requests for seekable video playback.
How to learn this
- 1Support HTTP range requests so users can seek within a video without downloading it fully.
- 2Process uploaded videos asynchronously, e.g. generating thumbnails, via a job queue.
- 3Store video files in cloud storage and serve them through a CDN.
