  • SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND STORAGE MEDIA FOR MANAGING ENCODER INSTANCES IN A SERVERLESS CONTENT DISTRIBUTION PLATFORM
    Publication number: 20210014295
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and storage media for managing encoder instances in a serverless content distribution platform are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: receive channel information relating to content to be streamed over a networked content distribution platform; associate the channel information with an encoder function that specifies video packaging settings and bitrates to create a stateless event object; repeat the receiving step and the associating step to create multiple stateless event objects; each correspond to one or more channels of streaming content; combine the multiple stateless event objects into a state machine; monitor the state of the state machine; and apply at least one workflow based on the states to manage instances of encoders corresponding to the one or more channels of streaming content.
