I am working on a project that is somewhat similar to the way Netflix works (as a streaming service), and have the following requirements:
Database that stores video files
Create group that can access the video
Ability for Owner to invite/add users to the group(s)
Video can be played/paused, and resumed if users close and come back
to watch later.Users in the Group can watch the video at the same time
Email/push notifications whenever owner of a group uploads a new
video ready for watching
Now I have last developed in Android some 4 years ago, but in terms of cross platform compatibility, e.g. iOS and Android, what is the best approach for this project?
Should I use AWS or Azure to host the database? Would SQL database work well with storing videos? Is MP4 the best format considering its wide compatibility? From my android experience, I developed an App in Android studio, but is there a better alternative to develop an app that can work for both iOS and Android at once?
