Abstract

Streaming is the continuous transmission of audio or video files from a server to a client. Streaming is real-time, and it's more efficient than downloading media files. Just like other data that is sent over the Internet, audio and video data is broken down into data packets. Each packet contains a small piece of the file, and an audio or video player in the browser on the client device takes the flow of data packets and interprets them as video or audio.

The concept of video streaming services means free or subscription-based services offering online streaming of films and television programs. Video streaming platforms allow people to watch videos anywhere and anytime, provided they have an Internet connection, or even without it, if the preload option is available.

This article covers the concepts of streaming, streaming media, and video streaming services. The subject matter is implementation of a video streaming web service with monolithic architecture. Selection justification is given for the architecture type. Explanations for the specific implementation details are provided as well. The service is flexible enough to carry out predetermined tasks and provides ample opportunities to adapt to various hardware platforms.
