- OLTP Layer: MySQL for transactional data (users, orders, bookings)
- Caching Layer: Redis for frequently accessed data and sessions
- NoSQL Layer: ScyllaDB for high-throughput use cases (streaming metadata)
- OLAP Layer: Add a proper analytical database (consider ClickHouse or BigQuery)
- Graph Layer: Neo4j for social relationships
- Implement CDC (Change Data Capture) from OLTP to OLAP
- Use Kafka as the backbone for event-driven architecture
- Develop data pipelines for analytics to reduce load on operational systems
- Content Domain: Movies, series, actors (content metadata)
- User Domain: Profiles, preferences, social interactions
- Commerce Domain: Bookings, orders, payments
- Streaming Domain: Media processing, streaming, consumption analytics
- REST for standard CRUD operations
- GraphQL for social features (better fits complex relationships)
- gRPC for high-performance internal service communication
- Implement read replicas for high-traffic services
- Use CQRS pattern to separate read and write operations
- Deploy CDN for static assets and streaming content
- Design horizontal scaling for all services
- Implement proper sharding strategy for databases
- Use autoscaling based on traffic patterns
- Circuit breakers between services
- Retry mechanisms with exponential backoff
- Proper fallback mechanisms for critical services
- Risk: Many services with complex interactions
- Mitigation: Clear API contracts, comprehensive integration tests, service mesh
- Risk: High demands on video processing
- Mitigation: Early load testing, C++ optimization for critical paths, CDN integration
- Risk: Distributed data across multiple databases
- Mitigation: Event sourcing pattern, saga pattern for distributed transactions
- Risk: Ambitious schedule with dependencies
- Mitigation: Modular approach allowing parallel development, clear MVP definition
