Server-side video processing — thumbnail generation, format transcoding, and resolution variants for adaptive playback.

Docker + Kubernetes

Containerised microservices orchestrated on K8s for horizontal scaling, rolling updates, and environment parity.

Nginx

Reverse proxy and load balancer handling SSL termination, request routing, and static asset delivery.

WebSockets

Persistent connections powering real-time commenting, live presence indicators, and instant approval notifications.

GitHub Actions

CI/CD pipelines running automated tests, builds, and deployments on every push to main.

Terraform

Infrastructure-as-code managing AWS resources, networking, and environment provisioning across staging and production.

Elasticsearch

Full-text search across projects, comments, and user activity — making it easy to find anything across hundreds of reviews.

Sentry

Error tracking and performance monitoring with real-time alerts, so issues get caught before clients notice them.

Features

Role-Based Access & Admin Controls

Producers, editors, and clients each see exactly what they need. Admins manage teams, permissions, and billing from a single dashboard.

Cost-Optimised Cloud Storage

Video files are routed through Cloudflare R2 instead of S3-only setups — cutting egress fees without sacrificing delivery speed.
