I created this many years ago but never really shared it. It's a Serverless webhook publisher (not consumer) for POSTing JSON payloads to other servers.
We still use it at Shotstack to send callbacks to our customers servers when their video renders and other long running processes complete. We’re not talking massive scale but we’re sending about 100,000 requests per month, and it might be useful for an early-stage startup who wants to get something up and running in half an hour (or less).
It runs on AWS Lambda and SQS and running cost is negligable. It includes an exponential backoff which just uses built in SQS delays and keeps track of message attempts via headers. It should be a case of configuring a few variables to customise it to your own needs and deploying it using the Serverless Framework.
Hi HN,
We released our latest Shotstack demo along with the open source code to create slide show videos from the Pexels image library. Just enter a keyword, title and soundtrack and the app will search Pexels, grab 8 random images and create a slideshow complete with some cool transitions and the title and soundtrack.
The demo shows you how easy it is to start building video apps with the Shotstack video editing API. The demo is open source so you can use it to start building your own idea.
We launched a simple demo to showcase one use case for our video editing API, Shotstack. It's a basic interface to upload and position a watermark over a background video.
You can use it free of charge for SD videos up to 2 minutes long. If you want to remove the restrictions or build out your own application the source code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/shotstack/watermark-demo
Hello, I'm the founder of Shotstack video editing API. I've put together this demo to show how you can use data from a spreadsheet to generate video statistics. I was in two minds to create something around such a tragedy but it does effectively highlight the the urgency when you see the numbers going up exponentially.
That's certainly something this could be used for. The main use cases we are seeing right now are those kids of batch operations (intros, outtros, lower thirds, titles, captions) and re-purposing user generated content; for example turning photos in slideshows, or uploaded footage in to an edit.
It's aimed at businesses who are building apps and services that handle large amounts of videos per day and they want automate repetitive tasks or build some kind of that needs a more refined, creative video to be output without the user needing to do anything.
