Netflix Clone
A Few Words About The Client
Netflix Clone is an on-demand streaming platform that replicates core Netflix-style UX: browse, search, play, and continue watching. Block Intelligence built the front end, playback pipeline, and backend services so the client could deliver video to subscribers across devices.
The client needed a scalable streaming product with a familiar, binge-friendly experience. They had to support multiple devices, adaptive bitrate streaming, and a content catalog that could grow without degrading performance.
Project Requirements

We delivered a web and mobile-friendly app with a rich catalog UI, secure playback with tokenized URLs and progress sync, and a backend for users, subscriptions, and content. We integrated with the client's CDN and storage and added basic recommendation logic.
The platform launched and has been used for live and on-demand content. Playback quality and reliability met expectations. The client has added more content and features using the same stack.
