🎬 Video Streaming Platform

A microservices-based video streaming platform designed to provide scalable, modular, and reliable video content management and streaming.

---

📌 Overview

The Video Streaming Platform is built using a microservices architecture, where each major functionality is developed and deployed as an independent service.

The project demonstrates:

🔹 Microservices Architecture 🔹 Service Discovery 🔹 API Gateway 🔹 Centralized Configuration 🔹 RESTful APIs 🔹 Inter-Service Communication 🔹 Video Catalog Management 🔹 Video Streaming 🔹 Fault Tolerance 🔹 Containerized Deployment

🔌 API Endpoints

Movie Catalog

Method	Endpoint	Description
POST	/movie-info/save	Saves all movies from Store
GET	/movie-info/lists	Get all movies information
GET	/movie-info/find-by-id/{movieIndoId}	Get movie path by ID

Movie Streaming

Method	Endpoint	Description
GET	/movie-stream/{videoPath}	Stream video
GET	movie-stream/with-id/{movieInfoId}	Gets movie path from catelog service

---

⚙️ Configuration

Configuration is managed using the centralized configuration service.

Example:

server:
  port: 8080

spring:
  application:
    name: movie-catalog-service
