This project is a YouTube + Twitter inspired backend system that combines the core features of YouTube (video hosting, user subscriptions, comments, likes) with the micro-posting functionality of Twitter (tweets). It is a fully functional backend built using Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB, Mongoose, JWT, Bcrypt, and Cloudinary.
This is a complete backend project with all standard practices such as JWT authentication, Bcrypt for password security, Access & Refresh Tokens for session management, and scalable MongoDB database models.
It provides features like:
- User management with authentication
- Video hosting and management
- Tweet posting and management
