TL;DR — Netflix Streaming

Design a video streaming platform like Netflix that serves millions of concurrent viewers worldwide. The system must handle video ingestion, transcoding into multiple resolutions and codecs, and adaptive bitrate streaming that adjusts quality in real-time based on network conditions. Users expect instant playback with zero buffering. Key features: Upload and ingest video content with metadata (title, genre, cast). Transcode videos into multiple resolutions (360p to 4K) and codecs (H.264, H.265, VP9, AV1).
