Mewpipe

Mewpipe is the end-of-the-year project of the Master of Science of Supinfo 2015. MewPipe is a website that will allows users to host, share and play online videos.

Your can find our presentation on gh-pages Warning : This scenario and roles are pure fiction, and are not real.

There are scenarios that must be handled for answering completely to the client needs:

  • An user must be able to upload a video, and obtain a link to share it
  • An user must be able to edit a video information (Only the creator can achieve this operation)
  • A user must be able to play a video
  • A user must be able to control the video while playing (pause, fast-forward, rewind, ...)

The team

Our developers for this project are :

But, our work is inseparable from the system part accomplished by :

The mindset

Our aim for this project is to discover and have fun with new technologies. Some of dependencies for this project had to be corrected to meet our needs.

Our choices

Our strategy is to draw a reliable and scalable infrastructure that is able to take a amount of connections. We want to prevent a deny of service that could occur from a large success of our platform. In this way, we were looking for performance, maintainability and community sharing.

  • The back-end HTTP server has been designed with Golang, It's a recent and powerful language that offers some of packages from the community.
  • The front-end is build with Angular.

We have, one more thing..

Here are some things that we did outside the scope of the project:

  • Swagger : We have an interface acting like a REST client. Gets documentation and behavior directly from the API !
  • GoConvey : We have a 100% test coverage of our model layer. Tests are runnable from ./test.sh and gets a beautiful interface :)
  • Cross-compilation : Our project can be compiled from linux to linux/Mac OS X and Windows. Just run ./build.sh and go to the build directory
  • Some fixtures : Our project can be filled by dummy data using the model layer. Just run ./fixtures.sh
  • A config file must be used to set parameters, each parameter must be overwritten directly from the CLI.
  • In future releases, we have plan to make C.a.a.S (Coffee as a Service)

Look 'n Feel

We have been inspired by the amazing work of Aurélien Salomon, and especially his Youtube Redesign. And with his kind courtesy. Thank you mate.

Built in scripts

  • Cross building with ./build.sh, outputs are in "build" directory
  • Add some data with ./fixtures.sh
  • Run the app on the fly with ./run.sh
  • Run test suite with ./test.sh
