Non-functional requirements
While functional requirements define what our Netflix-like service should do, non-functional requirements specify how the system should perform and behave under various conditions. These requirements are crucial for ensuring a smooth, reliable, and efficient streaming experience for our users. Let’s discuss the key non-functional requirements:
- Scalability and performance:
- The system should be designed to handle a large number of concurrent users and a growing library of video content
- It should be able to scale horizontally by adding more servers to handle increased traffic and storage needs
- The architecture should allow the efficient distribution of content across multiple servers and data centers to ensure fast and reliable streaming
- Caching mechanisms should be employed at various levels to reduce latency and improve performance
- Availability and reliability:
- The system should be highly available, ensuring minimal downtime and quick recovery...
