APPA Sport Video is a video management platform designed for football organizations to record, organize, and review match footage. Built as a companion to the APPA Sport tournament management system, it provides a centralized library for match recordings with cloud-based storage and playback capabilities.
Key Features
1. Match Video Library
A structured video catalog organizes match recordings by tournament, team, and date. Coaches and analysts can browse and search footage across seasons, making it easy to locate specific games for review.
2. Cloud-Based Storage
Videos are stored in S3-compatible object storage (MinIO), ensuring reliable access without consuming local device storage. Upload workflows handle large video files with progress tracking and resumable uploads.
3. Video Playback and Review
An integrated player allows coaches to review match footage directly within the platform. Teams can access recordings from any device without downloading files locally.
4. Role-Based Access Control
Authentication and authorization ensure that only authorized personnel — coaches, analysts, and administrators — can upload, view, or manage video content. Teams see only their own footage while administrators have organization-wide access.
5. Type-Safe Full-Stack Architecture
Built on Next.js with oRPC for end-to-end type safety between client and server, Drizzle ORM for database operations, and Redis caching for responsive performance — ensuring reliability as the video library scales.
Purpose and Benefits
APPA Sport Video addresses the common challenge of match footage scattered across personal devices, messaging groups, and cloud drives. By centralizing video management in a purpose-built platform, football organizations can preserve institutional knowledge, support coaching decisions with video evidence, and build a searchable archive of competitive history.
