AI Music Platform

A comprehensive AI-powered music platform built with Django REST Framework backend and React TypeScript frontend. This project demonstrates scalable architecture, modern web technologies, and AI-powered music capabilities.

🎵 Platform Overview

The AI Music Platform consists of three core services:

}));

// Send audio data
socket.send(JSON.stringify({
    type: 'audio_data',
    audio_data: 'base64-encoded-audio',
    config: { sensitivity: 1.0 }
}));

🔧 Configuration

Django Settings

Key configuration in ai_music_platform/settings.py:

• CORS Settings - Configured for React frontend
• REST Framework - API configuration
• WebSocket Support - Channels configuration
• Database - SQLite for development, PostgreSQL for production
• Media Storage - Local storage (configurable for AWS S3/CloudFront)

Environment Variables

Create .env file for production:

DEBUG=False
SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key
DATABASE_URL=postgres://user:pass@host:port/dbname
REDIS_URL=redis://host:port/db
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your-key
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your-secret
AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME=your-bucket

📊 Performance & Scalability

Database Optimization

• Indexed Fields - Artist, genre, play_count, created_at
• Query Optimization - select_related, prefetch_related
• Pagination - Built-in API pagination support

Caching Strategy

• API Response Caching - Redis for frequently accessed data
• Session Storage - WebSocket session management
• Static Files - CDN-ready configuration

Load Handling

• Asynchronous Processing - Background jobs for AI generation
• WebSocket Scaling - Channels with Redis backend
• Database Scaling - Read replicas, connection pooling
