LMS Platform

Scalable learning management system with OTP auth, DRM-protected video lessons, real-time admin analytics, and course commerce.

At a Glance

Problem

How do you structure content management at scale without bottlenecking the learning experience?

Approach

Built a modular full-stack architecture with Next.js + TypeScript frontend, Node/Express APIs, Redis caching, Socket.IO notifications, and Stripe payments. Added OTP-based authentication and protected content delivery flows.

What it shows

Built LMS handling thousands of courses with real-time updates and seamless payment workflows

What I Was Solving

Design a robust LMS that supports secure course delivery, role-based access, and a smooth student journey while handling real-time updates and payments.

How I Approached It

Built a modular full-stack architecture with Next.js + TypeScript frontend, Node/Express APIs, Redis caching, Socket.IO notifications, and Stripe payments. Added OTP-based authentication and protected content delivery flows.

What This Includes

Course and lesson management

OTP authentication and role-based access

Real-time notifications and dashboard updates

Stripe checkout and order tracking

Search, categories, and dynamic content sections

Scalable architecture with Redis and modular APIs

System Overview

The Next.js client consumes modular Express APIs with Redis-assisted caching and Socket.IO events. MongoDB stores course and enrollment data, while Stripe, VdoCipher, and Cloudinary handle commerce, protected video, and media assets.

Data Model

The LMS keeps course structure, lessons, enrollment records, payments, questions, reviews, and layout content in separate collections to make administration and content delivery easier to scale.

User Flow

A learner signs up with OTP, browses courses, enrolls, then watches protected lessons, asks questions, and leaves feedback. Admins manage course publishing, students, reviews, and support from a dashboard.

Background Flow

A successful payment activates enrollment, pushes notifications, refreshes cache, and unlocks DRM-secured lessons. Real-time events keep dashboards and admin activity views current.

What It Demonstrates

Delivered end-to-end course management for students and admins

Enabled secure enrollment and payment workflows

Improved responsiveness with caching and optimized API flows

Added real-time activity visibility for admin operations
