I have a project that requires creating a video streaming service, where users get to upload their video content, the video stream service is suppose to handle transcoding into different resolutions, add watermark and other steps. i need guidance building such a robust system on aws, that is also cost effective.
I have tried to setup a basic lambda from the aws docs, and use mediaconvert, but i feel like i still need to create more of a system, and i am also looking at the aws cost, someone suggested a custom solution
All depends on what technology you are using. For example, you can do this via APIs and read MP4 videos from an S3 bucket using S3 Java V2 API. For example, if you are using Java/SPring BOOT, you can use Reactor’s Mono, you would typically handle the video streaming as a sequence of data chunks.
