Serverless Video Converting using AWS ElasticTranscoder & LAmbda

"Amazon Elastic Transcoder lets you convert media files that you have stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) into media files in the formats required by consumer playback devices. For example, you can convert large, high-quality digital media files into formats that users can play back on mobile devices, tablets, web browsers, and connected televisions." ~ AWS Developer Guide

This repo is a simple implementation for a serverless video converter that helps in serving videos for different clients. You can convert any video to any format by adding this format to config.json as new presetId (all presets can be found here).

How To Deploy

# Change these variables
INPUT_BUCKET=transcoder-input-bucket
OUTPUT_BUCKET=transcoder-output-bucket
REGION=eu-west-1
SNS_TOPIC_NAME=transcoder-sns-topic

# Create S3 Buckets 
aws s3api create-bucket \
    --bucket $INPUT_BUCKET \
    --region $REGION --create-bucket-configuration LocationConstraint=$REGION \
    --acl public-read

aws s3api create-bucket \
    --bucket $OUTPUT_BUCKET \
    --region $REGION --create-bucket-configuration LocationConstraint=$REGION \
    --acl public-read

# Create SNS Topic
aws sns create-topic \
    --name $SNS_TOPIC_NAME

# Create AWS ElasticTranscoder
SNS_ARN=`aws sns list-topics | grep $SNS_TOPIC_NAME | awk '{print $NF}' | sed 's/"//g'`
aws elastictranscoder create-pipeline \
    --name transcoder-development-01 \
    --input-bucket $INPUT_BUCKET \
    --output-bucket $OUTPUT_BUCKET \
    --notifications Completed=$SNS_ARN,Warning="",Progressing="",Error=$SNS_ARN
