YouTube Backend

This is the backend of a YouTube-like platform where users can subscribe to channels, upload videos, manage their subscriptions, view video content, and engage with comment tweets. It provides a set of RESTful APIs for handling user authentication, video uploads, subscriptions, video management, and user interactions through comments.

Features

• User Authentication: Sign up, log in, and log out with token-based authentication (JWT).
• Video Management: Upload, update, delete, and view videos.
• Subscription System: Subscribe to channels and manage subscriptions.
• Profile Management: Users can update their profile, including changing their name, bio, and profile picture.
• Tweet System: Users can comment on videos with tweet-like comments (short text messages).
• Async and Mongoose Aggregation: Efficient querying and aggregation of video data and subscriptions.

Tech Stack

• Backend: Node.js, Express.js
• Database: MongoDB with Mongoose
• Authentication: JWT (JSON Web Tokens)
• cloudinary: store images and videos in cloudinary and temporary user server
• Environment Variables: dotenv for managing sensitive configuration
