Ready to build your own YouTube clone from scratch? In Part 1 of this exciting tutorial series, we kick off the creation of a full-stack video streaming app using React.js, Node.js, Next.js, MongoDB, and Bunny CDN. This video lays the foundation for a feature-rich platform, covering everything from project setup to authentication and database modeling. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, follow along to master modern web development and streaming tech! We’ll use Next.js for a powerful frontend with server-side rendering, Node.js for a robust backend, MongoDB with Mongoose for scalable data management, and set the stage for Bunny CDN integration in future parts. Plus, we’ll bring in Material UI (MUI) Toolpad for a sleek admin dashboard and Auth.js for secure user authentication. Let’s get started on this YouTube-inspired journey! What’s Covered in Part 1: Project overview and a sneak peek at the final demo. Setting up Next.js, Auth.js, and MUI Toolpad. Environment configuration and schema validation with Zod.
