Project Overview
Created a full-featured social media platform with real-time messaging, content sharing, and advanced social features. The platform supports text, image, and video posts with engagement features like likes, comments, and shares.
The Challenge
Building a scalable real-time system that could handle millions of users while maintaining low latency for messaging and notifications. The platform needed to support rich media content and provide personalized content feeds.
The Solution
Implemented a microservices architecture with separate services for posts, messaging, notifications, and media processing. Used GraphQL for efficient data fetching and WebSockets for real-time features. Implemented a recommendation algorithm for personalized feeds. Used CDN for media delivery and Redis for caching.
