This week, we primarily continued our respective programming roles for the application. We successfully implemented a simple video streaming web application that works while locally deployed as well as began deployment of this application on AWS instances. While discussing our architecture, we decided to combine our backend and database server nodes due to the simplicity of our application. This will reduce some unnecessary complexity in our implementation as well as deployment costs.
Over the next week, we will begin implementing the backend/database nodes with MongoDB, supporting our front end with websockets, implementing our load balancer to fit into the server architecture, and simulating users using scripts running on additional instances
