Building An Automated Video Encoding Pipeline In AWS (Graviton 2, Batch and ECS)

Last year on 11th May, Amazon launched their first 6th generation EC2 general-purpose instance, a.k.a “Graviton 2”, their next-generation Arm-based chip, utilizing 64-bit Arm Neoverse N1 cores. These processors boast up to 40% overall improvement on cost-performance ratio, compared to similar-sized M5 instances.

I’ve been meaning to build a “portable” video encoding pipeline for quite some time and this seemed like a good time and opportunity.

This whole CloudFormation template is available on my Github.

You see, in my High School time, I had MySQL in our Java classes and the whole concept of Databases seemed amazing at that time and then operating with SQL queries seemed even more amazing and over the time, I’ve fallen in love with it. It is simple, fast and does a lot of things if you know your queries. Plus there’s Foreign Key concept, which I use in almost each and every project I work on. And the community is really great. So, if you’re stuck somewhere, you have a lot of people to ask for help.
