Goals

Goals and Objectives​

The first step in developing a system design document is to define the requirements for the platform. This includes both the functional and non-functional requirements.

Functional requirements define what the system should do, such as:

  • Allow streamers to create and manage challenges
  • Allow users to bet on the outcome of challenges
  • Process payments and distribute winnings
  • Provide real-time updates on the status of challenges and bets

Non-functional requirements define how the system should perform, such as:

  • Scalability: The system should be able to handle a large number of users and bets
  • Security: The system should be secure from unauthorized access and fraud
  • Reliability: The system should be reliable and available 24/7

System Design and Architecture​

Once the requirements have been defined, they can be used to develop the system design and architecture. The system design and architecture describes the high-level components of the system and how they interact with each other.

The following are some of the key components of a livestream betting platform:

  • Frontend: The frontend is the user interface that users interact with to place bets and view the status of their bets. The frontend can be implemented using a variety of technologies, such as React with Next.js.
  • Backend: The backend is the server-side logic that processes bets, manages challenges, and distributes winnings. The backend can be implemented using a variety of technologies, such as Golang.
  • Database: The database stores all of the data for the platform, such as user accounts, challenges, and bets. The database should be scalable and reliable to handle the high volume of data that will be generated by the platform.
  • Payment gateway: The payment gateway is used to process payments and distribute winnings. The payment gateway should be secure and reliable.

Key Technologies​

The next step is to identify the key technologies that will be used to implement the system. The following are some of the key technologies that can be used to implement a livestream betting platform:

  • Programming language: The programming language used to implement the backend will depend on the specific requirements of the platform. However, Golang is a popular choice for backend development due to its performance and scalability.
  • Framework: A framework can be used to simplify the development of the backend. A popular framework for Golang development is Kubernetes.
  • Database: PostgreSQL is a popular database choice for livestream betting platforms due to its scalability and reliability.
  • Payment gateway: Stripe is a popular payment gateway that can be used to process payments and distribute winnings.

Roadmap​

The final step is to develop a roadmap for the implementation and deployment of the system. The roadmap should include the key milestones and deliverables.

The following is a sample roadmap for the implementation and deployment of a livestream betting platform:

  • P1: Define the requirements and develop the system design and architecture.
  • P2: Implement the backend and database.
  • P3: Implement the frontend and integrate with the backend and database.
  • P4: Test and deploy the system.

This is just a sample roadmap, and the specific timeline will vary depending on the specific requirements of the platform.

Conclusion​

A system design document is an essential tool for the development of a complex system such as a livestream betting platform. By carefully defining the requirements, designing the system architecture, and identifying the key technologies, the system design document can help to ensure the successful development and deployment of the system.
