Hi, sorry, looks like the server was down because it couldn't handle the load. I am currently running a "poor man's setup", everything is on EC2 instance. I am not so big on DevOps side of things, so I have an API that does all the FFmpeg processing and the frontend calls that API. I am looking for a better way to do things and been considering Lambda functions too. I would love to hear if you have any tips on handling a long processing job like this.

I've worked on something similar for a project of mine and used AWS Lambda which has been nice because it scales well and didn't cost me money while it wasn't running. The limit is 15 minutes which should be fine for something like this.

As others mentioned, I would go with a client-side approach if it works for you though.

You could do this entirely client side
