MyTube - A scalable cloud solution for video transcoding.

A scalable cloud solution for video streaming and content sharing.

Powerful Features

Scalability Demonstration

This demo shows how our system scales by processing multiple videos simultaneously, with each video getting its own dedicated container.

📤

Easy Video Upload

Upload videos through a modern web interface with drag and drop support

🔄

Automatic Transcoding

Videos are automatically transcoded to multiple resolutions (360p, 480p, 720p)

📱

Adaptive Streaming

HLS format allows for adaptive bitrate streaming based on viewer's connection

🧩

Video Segmentation

All videos are segmented into chunks for efficient streaming

📊

Real-time Status Updates

Track the progress of video transcoding in real-time

▶️

Responsive Video Player

Stream videos with adaptive quality on any device

Cloud Architecture

How It Works

Our platform implements a sophisticated cloud-based architecture for efficient video processing and delivery. The system handles everything from upload to adaptive streaming automatically.

Architecture Diagram

The Workflow

  1. 1
    User uploads a video through the dashboard interface
  2. 2
    Raw video gets uploaded to the S3 raw videos bucket
  3. 3
    Upload event is sent to AWS SQS queue
  4. 4
    Node.js Video Consumer polls for video upload events
  5. 5
    When an event is found, a container is spun up to process the video
  6. 6
    The video is passed to the FFmpeg microservice
  7. 7
    FFmpeg transcodes the video into HLS format with multiple quality levels
  8. 8
    Transcoding status is written to DynamoDB
  9. 9
    Transcoded segments and manifest are stored in production S3 bucket
  10. 10
    Client receives index.m3u8 file when video is requested
  11. 11
    Video segments stream in real-time with adaptive bitrate

Powered By Modern Tech

Frontend

Built with Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. Features HLS.js for video playback, Clerk for authentication, and React Query for state management.

Backend

Leverages Node.js with TypeScript, AWS SQS for messaging, ECS for containerization, S3 for storage, and DynamoDB for data persistence.

Transcoding

Utilizes Docker containers running FFmpeg for efficient video processing, with Node.js for orchestration and AWS SDK for cloud integration.
