Video streaming is an important aspect of various kinds of applications, ranging from social media apps like TikTok and Instagram (Reels), which engage users with short video clips, to proprietary video-sharing applications similar to YouTube, which allow users to share medium-length to long videos.

Though a video streaming platform of some kind is an awesome addition to some apps and a spotlight feature in a few apps, managing the infrastructure and handling all the aspects of streaming is a really cumbersome job.

Some of the main steps involved in video streaming are:

• Encoding and decoding the video
• Managing video database storage
• Support for multiple video formats
• Distribution
