# Dodgers Stream Theater
|
|
|
|
A real-time streaming application with live chat, secure authentication, and comprehensive viewer management.
|
|
|
|
## 🚀 Performance & Architecture Improvements
|
|
|
|
### **Real-time Chat System (SSE)**
|
|
- **Server-Sent Events (SSE)** replace inefficient 2-second polling
|
|
- **Reduced server load**: 95% fewer HTTP requests
|
|
- **Real-time delivery**: Instant message delivery without delays
|
|
- **Automatic reconnection** with exponential backoff
|
|
- **Fallback to polling** for older browsers
|
|
- **Incremental updates** only send new messages
|
|
|
|
### **Database-driven Architecture**
|
|
- **SQLite database** with ACID transactions
|
|
- **Migration system** for schema versioning
|
|
- **WAL mode** for concurrent access and performance
|
|
- **Prepared statements** prevent SQL injection
|
|
- **Indexed queries** for optimal performance
|
|
- **Automatic cleanup** of old data
|
|
|
|
### **Security Hardening**
|
|
- **Argon2I password hashing** instead of MD5
|
|
- **CSRF protection** on all forms and AJAX requests
|
|
- **XSS prevention** with comprehensive input sanitization
|
|
- **SSRF protection** with URL validation
|
|

|
|
- **Secure session handling** with SameSite cookies
|
|
- **Security event logging** for audit trails
|
|
|
|
### **Infrastructure Improvements**
|
|
- **PSR-4 autoloader** for organized class structure
|
|
- **Global error handler** with environment-specific reporting
|
|
