During the COVID-19 pandemic, my client needed an internal video streaming platform that could be quickly developed to allow users to consume video content while working remotely. The platform offers a library of categorized videos that can either be uploaded directly or linked from external services like Vimeo.
The key technical challenge was integrating a modern React frontend into an already existing WordPress website, ensuring that the system remained performant and functional despite the age of the WordPress infrastructure.
Another challenge was protecting the access to media files. I had to implement a solution to restrict access to the videos, making sure that they could only be viewed by authenticated users, a crucial requirement for the platform.
