NextGram

Full-stack social media platform with image/video sharing, likes, comments, and user profiles. Implements Redis caching for 77% performance improvement.

Project Overview

A social media experiment focused on high-performance data delivery. NextGram replicates core social features while pushing the boundaries of caching. Using Redis as a write-through cache, the platform handles high traffic with minimal database overhead.

Challenges Faced

1

Implementing real-time activity feeds with high consistency.

2

Managing large-scale media uploads and transformations via Cloudinary.

3

Reducing database read latency for frequently accessed user profiles.

Key Results

  • Achieved 77% faster load times using Redis write-through caching.
  • Scaled to handle 100+ concurrent test users without performance degradation.
  • Integrated secure media processing and delivery.
