Youtube Backend

This project is a complex backend project that is built with nodejs, expressjs, mongodb, mongoose, jwt, bcrypt, and many more. This project is a complete backend project that has all the features that a backend project should have. I tried to build a complete video hosting website with combination of tweets similar to youtube and twitter with all the features like login, signup, upload video, like, unlike, comment, subscribe, unsubscribe, tweets and many more.

Project uses all standard practices like JWT, bcrypt, access tokens, refresh Tokens and many more.
