GPU-accelerated FFmpeg pipelines: Convert video uploads into all formats and resolutions – scaled according to the queue, not wishful thinking.
Encoding is predictably computationally intensive – ideal for infrastructure that scales with the queue.
GPU encoding on RTX graphics cards converts streams many times faster than CPU-only encoding – from €92.59 per month (billed by the hour).
Kubernetes starts encoding workers when jobs are queued and stops them afterwards – no idle costs.
Source files and finished renditions are transferred via S3 – with free traffic for delivery as well.
Job queues and monitoring display throughput, errors and costs for each encoding profile.
An upload triggers the job; FFmpeg generates the complete ABR set (1080p to 240p plus thumbnails), and the results are stored in S3 with versioning – ready for streaming. The AutoScaler handles peaks following events by deploying additional GPU workers.
Customers typically implement this use case using these building blocks – which can be combined and expanded at any time.
GPU-accelerated video encoding: Scale transcoding as required – pay by the hour instead of buying an encoding farm. The cornerstone of this service is Cloud GPU, starting at €92.59 per month – billed by the hour, with no minimum contract term. This is supplemented, as required, by Kubernetes and S3 object storage. The infrastructure runs in our own German data centres, which are certified to ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz and hold an unrestricted BSI C5:2020 Type 1 certificate.
