This repository serves as the architectural documentation and system design blueprint for Weekmotion, a scalable video-sharing, content monetization, and creator ecosystem built using a decoupled monolithic architecture.
The system is optimized for maintainability and efficient handling of media-heavy workloads, leveraging asynchronous processing and strong database-level consistency.
The platform is organized into modular backend components, each responsible for a specific domain of the system.
- Chunked Video Ingestion: Processes high-volume media file uploads in sequential chunks to prevent web server process blocking.
- Polymorphic Community Feed: Powers articles, user updates, and feed interactions using unified relational tables with polymorphic mapping for comments and reactions.
- Role-Gated Content Middleware: Enforces real-time access control on the activity feed, dynamically segregating content visibility between Free and Pro membership tiers.
- Native Ad Campaign Engine: Routes and serves configured Direct Link and Vignette ad zone streams based on client demand.
- Asynchronous Analytics Tier: Deflects high-frequency ad impression logs away from core tables to prevent write-locks under peak traffic.
- Conditional Ad Filtering: Stateful middleware checks user subscription status to completely bypass ad-injection loops for premium accounts.
- Creator Eligibility Router: Validates eligibility metrics (strictly enforcing the 5 long videos and 50 subscribers criteria) via indexed relational queries before account onboarding.
- Watch & Reward Pipeline: Event-driven listeners capture user consumption milestones and dispatch credits to background queues away from the main HTTP thread.
- Double-Entry Financial Ledger: Manages user deposits, withdrawals, and internal balances inside atomic database transactions (
DB::transaction) to guarantee consistency and eliminate race conditions. - Content Paywalls & Marketplace: Processes single-unit purchase validation tokens to securely unlock premium posts and digital assets.
The system has been extended with a new Community Interaction + Content Structuring Layer, enhancing usability, discovery, and engagement without modifying the core architecture.
- Users can now post comments on any content
- Fully threaded reply system (comment → reply → nested reply support)
- Real-time discussion structure for engagement
- Admin moderation support (delete comments & replies)
This system integrates with the existing polymorphic feed architecture to ensure scalable interaction handling across all content types.
- Admin can create, update, and manage content categories dynamically
- Each post can be assigned a category during creation
- Default category fallback system implemented when no category is selected
- Categories are integrated into feed filtering layer
This extends the existing polymorphic content feed system without changing database core structure.
A new intelligent feed layer has been added on top of the existing feed engine:
- Global search bar for content discovery
- Filter system:
- All Content
- Category-based filtering
- Course content
- Premium content
- Tools & Resources
- Unlocked Content quick-access panel for users
This layer operates as a frontend orchestration layer over existing backend feed APIs.
- Users maintain a persistent Unlocked Content Library
- Subscription-based temporary access control remains unchanged
- Unlocked content is restored automatically upon subscription renewal
- Library works as a user-level access cache layer
This integrates with existing content paywall & marketplace system.
New administrative capabilities added:
- Category management dashboard
- Advanced comment moderation system:
- View all comments (latest first)
- Threaded reply visualization
- Delete comment/reply functionality
- Content visibility monitoring for feed system
This extends the existing role-based middleware system.
These updates introduce a new interaction and discovery layer while preserving:
- Existing media ingestion pipeline
- Monetization and ledger system
- Role-gated content middleware
- Asynchronous processing architecture
No core database disruption has been introduced — only layered feature expansion.
