A movie streaming service built with a Microservice Architecture to facilitate rapid development and deployment, easier troubleshooting, and separation of concerns. It leverages cutting edge new technologies standards for a pleasant user and development experience. Communication between the different services is done with a RabbitMQ message broker, to ensure consistency and fault proof protection. protection. It utilizes a Nginx Reverse Proxy to route the requests to two API gateways, one for the product and the other for the management of the environment with both gateways being secured with JWT tokens based authentication mechanisms. The project utilities primarily the Grafana stack for monitoring and logging, Hashivault for secrets, and Docker for containerizing the application, and jenkins as a CI/CD pipline to automize the building and deployment of the application.

| Hercules | Authentication and User Data Mangement Service | Heracles was a divine hero in Greek mythology, the son of Zeus and Alcmene, and the foster son of Amphitryon. He was a great-grandson and half-brother (as they are both sired by the god Zeus) of Perseus, and similarly a half-brother of Dionysus.

Built with React and SCSS, for a modern and elegant and responsive website, that works across different screen sizes be it desktop or mobile, and takes in mind the different UI/UX standards and bestpractices, namely accessibility.
Authentication and user mangment api built with Express, Typescript, and NestJs handles incoming requests from the frontend clients, authenticates and authorizes them using JWTs and stores refresh tokens in a redis cache to aliviate the shortcomings of JWT authentication, tokens are stored in httpOnly Cookies on the client side.
A Rest API also built with Express and Nest and incorporates a Postgres database, this service serves the purpose of being a Movie and TV Shows index, keen to services like IMDB and TMDB, it stores everything on a particular show from the cast to the reviews and trailers. A small Redis cache is also used to cache requests for better performance.
The scrapper an Express + Nest rest api which is responsible for searching imdb using the search term received from the backend, checking if the specfied movie or series exists on the streaming servers (currently one but more are to be added), then scrape imdb for all the movie data. The scrape is thorough, and includes mostly everything that exists and related to specfied movie or sitcom from release data and pg rating to the production company. The scrapper then will forward the scrapped data, to apollo over rabbitmq to be validated and inserted to the postgres database, which will then trigger an insertion in the elasticsearch database.
A search engine reset api also build with express and nest, responsible for blazing fast document search over the stored
data, where the results are not only
based on how similar is the name of a search term to the name of a show, but also if the search term is included in the
data of a show, the search term will also
look at the cast of the movies to check if the search term is similar to the name of an actor, and return the shows the
actor is in, for example Robbert Downy will return a list of shows that have Robbert Downy in their name, but also
shows where actors with names similar to the search term act in.
The recommendation engine is responsible for crunching the data in the elasticsearch database and recommending movies using content based filtering, collaborative filtering, and demographic filtering. In a nutshell the engine will recommend the best genres to be shown on the user's homepage with the movies in each genre sorted from worst to best based on the user interests.
Postgres database that at is designed from the get go to have every possible feature that I intend to implement in the project, with extra future proofing to make sure that the database will not need any drastic changes in the future.
