StreamNest - Fullstack Angular Firebase SSR App with Golang Backend

StreamNest is a fullstack web application combining Angular Universal for SSR, Firebase for authentication and hosting, and a powerful backend built in Go (Golang). This architecture delivers a scalable, SEO-friendly streaming platform with modern DevOps CI/CD practices.

🚀 Project Overview

• Frontend: Angular 17 with Angular Universal (SSR)
• Backend: Golang REST API deployed via Vercel
• Authentication & Hosting: Firebase (Auth, Hosting, Firestore)
• Styling & UI: Angular Material & Custom CSS
• Deployment: Firebase Hosting (Frontend) + Vercel (Backend)
• CI/CD: GitHub Actions for continuous integration and deployment

---

🛠️ Key Features

• Firebase Authentication (Email/Password and optional social providers)
• Firestore NoSQL database integration
• Golang API for movie search and streaming endpoints
• Responsive UI built with Angular Material
• Modern DevOps CI/CD pipeline via GitHub Actions
• Split deployment: Angular SSR served on Firebase, backend API on Vercel
