## 🔄 Next Actions Required

### 1. Environment Setup (15 minutes)
```bash
# 1. Configure PostgreSQL
DATABASE_URL="postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/aethex_dev"

# 2. Run migrations
npx prisma migrate dev --name init_phase1
npx prisma generate

# 3. Get Clerk keys (https://clerk.com)
NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY="pk_test_..."
CLERK_SECRET_KEY="sk_test_..."

# 4. Get Stripe test keys (https://stripe.com)
NEXT_PUBLIC_STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY="pk_test_..."
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY="sk_test_..."

# 5. Choose streaming provider
# Cloudflare Stream OR Mux
```

### 2. Start Development (2 minutes)
```bash
npm install
npm run dev
# Opens http://localhost:3000 with Socket.io
```

### 3. Test Core Flows (20 minutes)
- [ ] Sign up with Clerk
- [ ] Complete onboarding → Create channel
- [ ] View channel at `/c/your-slug`
- [ ] Test chat messages
- [ ] Test follow/unfollow
- [ ] View creator dashboard

### 4. Streaming Setup (30 minutes)
Choose one:
- **Cloudflare Stream**: $5/1000 mins
- **Mux**: $8/1000 mins
- **Self-hosted**: OBS → RTMP server

Configure RTMP ingest URLs and HLS playback.

## 📈 Technical Specifications

### Performance Targets
- Stream latency: <2 seconds (HLS)
- API response time: <200ms (p95)
- Chat message delivery: <100ms
- Database queries: < 50ms (indexed)
- Concurrent viewers: 10,000+ per stream

### Security Features
- ✅ Clerk authentication (OAuth2)
- ✅ CSRF protection (Next.js middleware)
- ✅ Rate limiting ready (add express-rate-limit)
- ✅ SQL injection protection (Prisma ORM)
- ✅ XSS protection (React sanitization)
- ✅ Webhook signature verification (Svix)

### Scalability
- Horizontal scaling: ✅ (Socket.io with Redis adapter)
- Database: ✅ (PostgreSQL with connection pooling)
- CDN-ready: ✅ (HLS streams)
- Serverless-compatible: ⚠️ (API routes only, Socket.io needs server)
