Web application for dynamic video transcoding using Azure Functions

Inthis article, we considered dynamic video transcoding, leveraging Azure Functions’ serverless technology. In the theoretical and analytical part of the article, we explained concepts such as adaptive video transcoding, serverless architecture, and serverless functions. We analyzed the products of serverless service providers as well as their solutions to the video transcoding problem. We searched for and analyzed existing or similar solutions. Based on the results of the analytical part, in the second part of the article, we proposed our own solution to this problem. In the practical part of our work, we described the implementation of our proposed solution and discussed its testing and evaluation. We evaluated this solution both technically and economically by comparing it with competing video transcoding solutions. We presented our solution in the form of a web application that dynamically adjusted video parameters based on various cues.
