  description: string;
  tags: string[];                // e.g., ["trading", "technical-analysis"]

  height: number;                 // Video height (e.g., 1080)
}

2. Backend Implementation

2.1 Storage Service

File: apps/backend/src/shared/services/storage.service.ts

export class StorageService {
  private client: S3Client;

  constructor() {
    this.client = new S3Client({
      region: process.env.STORAGE_REGION || 'us-east-1',
      endpoint: process.env.STORAGE_ENDPOINT,  // For R2
      credentials: {
        accessKeyId: process.env.STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY!,
        secretAccessKey: process.env.STORAGE_SECRET_KEY!,
      },
    });
  }

  // Initialize multipart upload
  async initMultipartUpload(
    key: string,
    contentType?: string,
    metadata?: Record<string, string>
  ): Promise<{ uploadId: string; key: string }> {
    const command = new CreateMultipartUploadCommand({
      Bucket: this.config.bucket,
      Key: key,
      ContentType: contentType,
      Metadata: metadata,
    });

    const response = await this.client.send(command);
    return { uploadId: response.UploadId!, key };
  }

  // Get presigned URL for part upload
  async getPresignedUploadUrl(options: {
    key: string;
    expiresIn: number;
    contentType?: string;
  }): Promise<string> {
    const command = new PutObjectCommand({
      Bucket: this.config.bucket,
      Key: options.key,
      ContentType: options.contentType,
    });

    return await getSignedUrl(this.client, command, {
      expiresIn: options.expiresIn,
    });
  }

  // Complete multipart upload
  async completeMultipartUpload(
    key: string,
    uploadId: string,
    parts: CompletedPart[]
  ): Promise<{ key: string; url: string }> {
    const command = new CompleteMultipartUploadCommand({
      Bucket: this.config.bucket,
      Key: key,
      UploadId: uploadId,
      MultipartUpload: { Parts: parts },
    });

    await this.client.send(command);
    return { key, url: this.getPublicUrl(key) };
  }

  // Abort multipart upload (cleanup)
  async abortMultipartUpload(key: string, uploadId: string): Promise<void> {
    const command = new AbortMultipartUploadCommand({
      Bucket: this.config.bucket,
      Key: key,
      UploadId: uploadId,
    });

    await this.client.send(command);
  }
}

Key Concepts:

  • Multipart Upload: Split large files into parts (5MB each)
  • Presigned URLs: Client uploads directly to S3/R2 without backend proxy
  • Upload ID: Unique identifier for multipart upload session
  • ETags: S3 returns ETag for each part (required for completion)

2.2 Video Service

File: apps/backend/src/modules/education/services/video.service.ts

export class VideoService {
  async initializeUpload(
    userId: string,
    data: InitUploadRequest
  ): Promise<InitUploadResponse> {
    // 1. Validate course access
    await this.validateCourseAccess(data.courseId, userId);

    // 2. Generate storage key
    const storageKey = storageService.generateKey('videos', data.filename);

    // 3. Initialize multipart upload
    const { uploadId } = await storageService.initMultipartUpload(
      storageKey,
      data.contentType,
      { title: data.metadata.title, courseId: data.courseId, userId }
    );

    // 4. Calculate number of parts (5MB each)
    const PART_SIZE = 5 * 1024 * 1024;
    const totalParts = Math.ceil(data.fileSize / PART_SIZE);

    // 5. Create video record in database
    const video = await db.query<Video>(
      `INSERT INTO education.videos (
        course_id, lesson_id, uploaded_by,
        title, description, original_filename,
        storage_provider, storage_bucket, storage_key,
        file_size_bytes, mime_type,
        status, upload_id, upload_parts_total, metadata
      ) VALUES ($1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7, $8, $9, $10, $11, $12, $13, $14, $15)
      RETURNING *`,
      [...]
    );

    // 6. Generate presigned URLs for each part
    const presignedUrls: string[] = [];
    for (let i = 1; i <= totalParts; i++) {
      const url = await storageService.getPresignedUploadUrl({
        key: storageKey,
        expiresIn: 3600,  // 1 hour
        contentType: data.contentType,
      });
      presignedUrls.push(url);
    }

    return {
      videoId: video.id,
      uploadId,
      storageKey,
      presignedUrls,
    };
  }

  async completeUpload(
    videoId: string,
    userId: string,
    data: CompleteUploadRequest
  ): Promise<Video> {
    // 1. Get video record
    const video = await this.getVideoById(videoId);

    // 2. Verify ownership
    if (video.uploadedBy !== userId) {
      throw new Error('Unauthorized');
    }

    // 3. Complete multipart upload in S3/R2
    await storageService.completeMultipartUpload(
      video.storageKey,
      video.uploadId!,
      data.parts
    );

    // 4. Update video status
    const updatedVideo = await db.query<Video>(
      `UPDATE education.videos
       SET status = 'uploaded',
           uploaded_at = NOW(),
           upload_progress_percent = 100,
           updated_at = NOW()
       WHERE id = $1
       RETURNING *`,
      [videoId]
    );

    // 5. Trigger video processing (async)
    // await videoProcessingService.queueProcessing(videoId, video.storageKey);

    return updatedVideo.rows[0];
  }
}

Upload Flow:

  1. Initialize: Create DB record + S3 multipart upload + generate presigned URLs
  2. Upload: Client uploads parts directly to S3 using presigned URLs
  3. Complete: Backend completes multipart upload + updates DB + triggers processing

2.3 Video Controller (REST API)

File: apps/backend/src/modules/education/controllers/video.controller.ts

// POST /api/v1/education/videos/upload-init
export async function initializeVideoUpload(req, res, next) {
  const userId = (req as any).user?.id;
  const { courseId, lessonId, filename, fileSize, contentType, metadata } = req.body;

  // Validate file size (max 2GB)
  if (fileSize > 2 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024) {
    res.status(400).json({ error: 'File too large. Maximum size: 2GB' });
    return;
  }

  // Validate content type
  const allowedTypes = ['video/mp4', 'video/webm', 'video/quicktime', 'video/x-msvideo'];
  if (!allowedTypes.includes(contentType)) {
    res.status(400).json({ error: `Invalid content type. Allowed: ${allowedTypes.join(', ')}` });
    return;
  }

  const result = await videoService.initializeUpload(userId, {
    courseId, lessonId, filename, fileSize, contentType, metadata,
  });

  res.status(201).json({ success: true, data: result });
}

// POST /api/v1/education/videos/:videoId/complete
export async function completeVideoUpload(req, res, next) {
  const { videoId } = req.params;
  const { parts } = req.body;

  const video = await videoService.completeUpload(videoId, userId, { parts });

  res.status(200).json({
    success: true,
    data: video,
    message: 'Upload completed successfully. Video is being processed.',
  });
}

// POST /api/v1/education/videos/:videoId/abort
export async function abortVideoUpload(req, res, next) {
  const { videoId } = req.params;
  await videoService.abortUpload(videoId, userId);
  res.status(200).json({ success: true, message: 'Upload aborted successfully' });
}

Endpoints:

  • POST /videos/upload-init - Initialize upload (returns presigned URLs)
  • POST /videos/:id/complete - Complete upload (finalize S3 multipart)
  • POST /videos/:id/abort - Abort upload (cleanup S3 + mark deleted)
  • GET /videos/:id - Get video details
  • GET /courses/:courseId/videos - List course videos
  • PATCH /videos/:id - Update video metadata
  • DELETE /videos/:id - Soft delete video

3. Frontend Implementation

3.1 Video Upload Service

File: apps/frontend/src/services/video-upload.service.ts

export class VideoUploadService {

Key Implementation Details:

  • Part Size: 5MB (optimal for network performance)
  • Concurrency: Max 3 parts uploaded in parallel
  • Progress: Real-time progress reporting (0-100%)
  • Error Handling: Retry logic and detailed error messages
  • Direct Upload: Uses fetch() to upload directly to S3 (no backend proxy)

3.2 VideoUploadForm Component

File: apps/frontend/src/modules/education/components/VideoUploadForm.tsx

const VideoUploadForm: React.FC<VideoUploadFormProps> = ({
  courseId,
  lessonId,
  onUploadComplete,
  ...
}) => {
  const [selectedFile, setSelectedFile] = useState<File | null>(null);
  const [metadata, setMetadata] = useState<VideoMetadata>({ ... });
  const [uploadProgress, setUploadProgress] = useState<UploadProgress>({
    status: 'idle',
    progress: 0,
  });

  const handleUpload = async () => {
    if (!selectedFile || !validateMetadata()) return;

    try {
      const video = await videoUploadService.uploadVideo(
        selectedFile,
        { courseId, lessonId, metadata },
        (progress, status, message) => {
          setUploadProgress({ status, progress, message });
        }
      );

      setUploadProgress({
        status: 'completed',
        progress: 100,
        message: 'Upload complete!',
        videoId: video.id,
      });

      onUploadComplete?.(video.id, metadata);
    } catch (error) {
      setUploadProgress({
        status: 'error',
        progress: 0,
        message: error.message,
      });
    }
  };

  return (
    <div>
      {/* Step 1: File Selection */}
      {/* Step 2: Metadata (title, description, tags, difficulty) */}
      {/* Step 3: Upload with progress bar */}
    </div>
  );
};

UI Features:

  • 3-Step Form: File selection → Metadata → Upload
  • Drag & Drop: Support for drag-and-drop file selection
  • Progress Bar: Real-time upload progress (0-100%)
  • File Validation: Size limit (2GB), format validation
  • Metadata: Title, description, tags, language, difficulty level
  • Preview: Video preview before upload
  • Error Handling: Clear error messages

4. Video Processing (MVP - Mock)

File: apps/backend/src/shared/services/video-processing.service.ts

Current Status: ⚠️ MVP Implementation (Mock)

The video processing service currently returns mock/placeholder data. This is sufficient for MVP but should be upgraded to real processing for production.

export class VideoProcessingService {
  async processVideo(
    storageKey: string,
    options: ProcessingOptions = {}
  ): Promise<ProcessingResult> {
    // Step 1: Extract metadata (TODO: use FFmpeg)
    const metadata = await this.extractMetadata(storageKey);

    // Step 2: Generate thumbnail (TODO: use FFmpeg)
    const thumbnailUrl = await this.generateThumbnail(storageKey);

    // Step 3: Transcode to multiple resolutions (TODO: use FFmpeg/MediaConvert)
    const transcodedVersions = await this.transcodeVideo(storageKey, ['1080p', '720p', '480p']);

    // Step 4: Get CDN URL
    const cdnUrl = storageService.getPublicUrl(storageKey);

    return { metadata, cdnUrl, thumbnailUrl, transcodedVersions };
  }

  // Returns mock metadata for MVP
  private mockMetadata(): VideoMetadata {
    return {
      durationSeconds: 120,
      width: 1920,
      height: 1080,
      codec: 'h264',
      bitrate: 5000000,
      fps: 30,
    };
  }
}

Future Production Implementation Options:

Option 1: FFmpeg (Self-Hosted)

# Extract metadata
ffprobe -v quiet -print_format json -show_format -show_streams input.mp4

# Generate thumbnail
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss 00:00:01 -vframes 1 -q:v 2 thumbnail.jpg

# Transcode to 1080p
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf scale=-2:1080 -c:v libx264 -preset fast -crf 23 output_1080p.mp4

Pros: Full control, no additional costs Cons: Requires compute resources, maintenance

Option 2: AWS MediaConvert

const mediaconvert = new MediaConvert({ region: 'us-east-1' });
await mediaconvert.createJob({
  Role: 'arn:aws:iam::xxx:role/MediaConvertRole',
  Settings: {
    Inputs: [{ FileInput: `s3://bucket/${storageKey}` }],
    OutputGroups: [
      { Outputs: [{ VideoDescription: { Height: 1080 } }] },
      { Outputs: [{ VideoDescription: { Height: 720 } }] },
    ],
  },
});

Pros: Managed service, scalable, high quality Cons: AWS costs (~$0.015/min HD transcoding)

Option 3: Cloudflare Stream (Simplest)

const stream = new CloudflareStream({ accountId, apiToken });
const video = await stream.videos.upload({ file: videoBuffer });
// Cloudflare automatically generates multiple resolutions

Pros: Simplest, built-in CDN, adaptive streaming Cons: $5/1000 mins stored, $1/1000 mins delivered

7. Security Considerations

7.1 Upload Security

Implemented:

  • File size validation (max 2GB)
  • Content type validation (only video formats)
  • Presigned URL expiration (1 hour)
  • Course access validation (user must be enrolled or instructor)
  • Ownership verification (only uploader can complete/abort)

⚠️ TODO (Production):

  • Rate limiting (max uploads per user per day)
  • Virus scanning (ClamAV integration)
  • Content moderation (detect inappropriate content)
  • DRM (if required for paid courses)

7.2 Access Control

// Only course instructors and enrolled students can upload
async validateCourseAccess(courseId: string, userId: string) {
  const result = await db.query(`
    SELECT EXISTS(
      SELECT 1 FROM education.courses
      WHERE id = $1 AND (
        instructor_id = $2 OR
        EXISTS(
          SELECT 1 FROM education.enrollments
          WHERE course_id = $1 AND user_id = $2 AND status = 'active'
        )
      )
    ) as has_access
  `, [courseId, userId]);

  if (!result.rows[0].has_access) {
    throw new Error('Access denied');
  }
}

8. Performance Optimization

8.1 Upload Performance

Multipart Upload Benefits:

  • Parallel upload (3 parts at a time)
  • Resume capability (if part fails, retry only that part)
  • Direct to S3 (no backend bottleneck)
  • Better network utilization

Part Size Selection:

  • 5MB = Optimal for most connections (good balance between parallelism and overhead)
  • Minimum: 5MB (S3 requirement)
  • Maximum: 5GB per part (S3 limit)
  • Total parts: Max 10,000 per file

8.2 Database Optimization

-- Compound index for course video listings
CREATE INDEX idx_videos_course_status
ON education.videos(course_id, status)
WHERE deleted_at IS NULL;

-- GIN index for metadata search
CREATE INDEX idx_videos_metadata
ON education.videos USING GIN(metadata);

-- Partial index for active uploads (monitoring)
CREATE INDEX idx_videos_uploading
ON education.videos(upload_id, upload_progress_percent)
WHERE status = 'uploading';

9. Testing Guide

9.1 Manual Testing

Test Case 1: Small Video Upload (< 5MB)

// Should complete in single part
const file = new File([blob], "small.mp4", { type: "video/mp4" });
// file.size < 5MB
// Expected: 1 presigned URL, 1 part upload

Test Case 2: Large Video Upload (> 5MB)

// Should split into multiple parts
const file = new File([blob], "large.mp4", { type: "video/mp4" });
// file.size = 50MB
// Expected: 10 presigned URLs, 10 part uploads

Test Case 3: Upload Abort

// Start upload, then abort
const { videoId } = await initializeUpload(...);
await abortUpload(videoId);
// Expected: Video status = 'deleted', S3 multipart aborted

9.2 Integration Tests

describe('Video Upload Flow', () => {
  it('should upload video successfully', async () => {
    // 1. Initialize
    const init = await initializeUpload(userId, {
      courseId, filename: 'test.mp4', fileSize: 1024000,
      contentType: 'video/mp4', metadata: {...}
    });
    expect(init.presignedUrls).toBeDefined();

    // 2. Upload parts (mock)
    const parts = init.presignedUrls.map((url, i) => ({
      partNumber: i + 1,
      etag: `etag-${i + 1}`
    }));

    // 3. Complete
    const video = await completeUpload(init.videoId, userId, { parts });
    expect(video.status).toBe('uploaded');
    expect(video.uploadProgressPercent).toBe(100);
  });
});

10. Monitoring & Debugging

10.1 Key Metrics

-- Active uploads
SELECT COUNT(*), AVG(upload_progress_percent)
FROM education.videos
WHERE status = 'uploading'
AND created_at > NOW() - INTERVAL '24 hours';

-- Failed uploads
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM education.videos
WHERE status = 'error'
AND created_at > NOW() - INTERVAL '24 hours';

-- Average upload time
SELECT AVG(uploaded_at - created_at) as avg_upload_time
FROM education.videos
WHERE uploaded_at IS NOT NULL
AND created_at > NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days';

10.2 Common Issues

Issue 1: "No ETag returned"

Cause: S3 CORS not configured to expose ETag header
Fix: Add "ETag" to ExposeHeaders in CORS config

Issue 2: "Presigned URL expired"

Cause: Upload took > 1 hour
Fix: Increase expiresIn or reduce file size limit

Issue 3: "Part upload failed"

Cause: Network issue or S3 outage
Fix: Implement retry logic with exponential backoff

11. Future Enhancements

Phase 2 (Priority)

  • Real video processing (FFmpeg or MediaConvert)
  • Thumbnail generation from video
  • Multiple resolution transcoding
  • Resume uploads (store part ETags)
  • Background job queue (Bull/BullMQ)

Phase 3 (Nice to Have)

  • Video preview/seek thumbnails (VTT)
  • Adaptive bitrate streaming (HLS/DASH)
  • CDN integration (CloudFront/Cloudflare)
  • Live streaming support
  • Video analytics (watch time, completion rate)
  • Subtitles/captions editor
  • Video chapters/timestamps
  • DRM protection for premium content

12. Success Metrics
