About This Project
**The Problem:** Serving premium, authentic Bangla media required flawless Unicode typography, a scalable media pipeline, and zero-downtime reliability to target an audience of 170M+ Bengali speakers. **The Solution Architecture:** We built a cloud-native platform utilizing Next.js 16 with AWS S3 for enterprise-grade media storage. The system integrates the Twitter API v2 for seamless social syndication. Crucially, we established an ironclad CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions and Playwright for rigorous end-to-end browser testing to automatically block regressions before they hit production. **Measurable Results:** Delivered a highly accessible (WCAG 2.1 AA), magazine-grade editorial experience backed by enterprise-level test coverage, allowing editors to publish multi-part article series with total confidence.
