How are you storing/serving the videos? You might look at a service like mux.com which both hosts files behind a CDN but optimizes video delivery with adaptive bitrate streaming. If you are serving whole/raw video files off Cloudfront that could impact your costs. Source: almost 2 years ago
Vimeo is a solid platform. Most alternatives you'll find searching for "vimeo vs." are just marketing / billing wrappers around the mux.com streaming platform. If you are somewhat technically inclined you can use mux.com directly and embed it on your website yourself. Source: about 2 years ago
Feels like there's no real alternative to Youtube since they have large enough capital to run the site to be barely able to break even. Feels like something like https://mux.com would meet the purpose jut feels like free streaming is way too costly. Source: about 2 years ago
The repo is unmaintained, ever since Matt moved from Twitch to mux.com, so the library does need a maintainer. There are some bugs and PRs that could do with merging to head, but it is generally functional, with some quirks. The code is used in both OBS and Gstreamer Rust bindings. Source: about 2 years ago
So Senja uses Mux under the hood for video storage and streaming. It's an amazing solution! Source: over 2 years ago
Alternatively, if your Internet connection can handle it, you could upload your videos to a cloud service that processes them for you. For example, Amazon's AWS has a transcoding service called Elastic, which charges 3 cents per minute of video (half of that if it's lower than 720p). Might be worth the reduced time and effort for business use. Source: almost 2 years ago
If you're looking for an AWS specific solution, check out Amazon Elastic Transcoder. I think it'll do what you want with a pipeline and you can do it serverless. Source: over 2 years ago
If you use https://aws.amazon.com/elastictranscoder/ then you don’t need a computer, it’s a managed service, get your files to s3 somehow and thats it. There are some other services from other providers that can do the same too, I strongly encourage to look into that, unless you have specific encoding specs that you can’t do somewhere.

However compressing on the server is the better option in case you want to generate gifs, thumbnails, and different sizes and formats of the video. A lot of big video streaming companies will use something like Amazons media convert. Source: over 3 years ago
This is how I'd do it, but instead of using EC2 for step 5 I'd look into Elastic Transcoder. Source: over 3 years ago
