Podcast Network (Next.js, Boto3, PostgreSQL, Stripe, Redis, TypeScript) overview

A multi-show podcast network platform where creators manage episodes, schedule releases, and track listener analytics across shows. Next.js serves the creator dashboard and public-facing podcast pages with server-side rendering for SEO-optimized show directories. Boto3 handles audio file uploads to cloud object storage with presigned URLs for secure direct uploads from the browser. PostgreSQL stores show metadata, episode transcripts, and listener engagement metrics. Stripe powers subscription billing for premium content tiers and creator payouts. Redis caches RSS feed responses and manages real-time download counters. The tradeoff is audio transcoding pipeline complexity and IAB-compliant download measurement accuracy.
