Dev builds Chinese learning platform with 100k+ TV clips using Rust and Next.js

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

The backend uses Rust with Axum for low-latency search, and PostgreSQL trigram indexes enable sub-millisecond fuzzy matching. Video hosting on Backblaze B2 via Cloudflare eliminates bandwidth costs.
