Medium-Scale Blogging Platform Design
A startup is building a new blogging platform aimed at professional writers and content creators. The initial version needs to provide a seamless content creation experience with rich text editing, image embedding, draft management, and publishing workflows. Writers expect a responsive editor that autosaves their work, supports various formatting options, and allows them to visualize how content will appear when published.
As the Technical Lead, you've been tasked with addressing this challenge. The CTO and CPO have outlined the following requirements:
Design a content management system for creating, editing, and publishing blog posts
Implement rich text editing with support for formatting, headings, links, and embedded media
Create an autosave system that prevents content loss during editing
Build a media uploading service that processes and stores images
Implement draft and publishing workflows with preview capabilities
