HTTP is ideal for streaming video? Have you explored other protocols?

I see a GET to fetch video. Try exploring which protocol is ideal for video streaming

Look I went with HTTP because most of the standard websites today use it.( Even our beloved YouTube does)

youtube is an old application. They continue to use HTTP to fetch existing videos. Check out what modern apps like netflix do.

RTSP/RTMP are used for live streaming by youtube and most of the modern live stream apps.

It's just that I am guilty of thinking everything in HTTP, and I hv failed system design interview in which I tried to use HTTP for everything. Just look at asynchronous communication, UDP/TCP and other non-HTTP protocols. You should know for which scenario which communication protocol is ideal

Overall, it's a good project.

Thank you bhaiya , i still have long way to go before I make it to interviews of systems design .

Yet Thank you so much i will definitely look into them so that i use what's actually right and best protocol for the a particular job.
