How We Made Our OnlyFans? Architecture of Modern Web Applications

How to create your OnlyFans and not fail? In this video, we will analyze the architecture of modern web applications that can withstand high loads using a real case. We will go from a simple MVC application (monolith), which crashes after 100 users, to a complex microservice architecture for millions with CDN. We will figure out why we need RabbitMQ, Docker and Kubernetes on the web

You will learn why a monolith is a single point of failure and how microservices solve the scaling problem. We will build a video hosting architecture step by step using key technologies:

🔹 Nginx as a reverse proxy
🔹 RabbitMQ for creating a message queue and asynchronous processing
🔹 FFmpeg for video transcoding and HLS for adaptive streaming
🔹 Docker for containerizing our microservices
🔹 Kubernetes for orchestration and container management
🔹 S3 as a reliable cloud storage
🔹 CDN for fast content delivery around the world

This is not just a tutorial, it is a complete analysis of the modern architecture of a web application using the example of Onlyfans. We will show how the right architecture and tools such as Docker and Kubernetes help create fault-tolerant and scalable projects. You will understand how scaling works and why microservices are the standard for high-load projects.
