Project Solution
Armakuni rebuilt NatureFootage’s legacy stock-footage platform into a modular, AWS-native, AI-powered MAM SaaS design by producing RFP documentation, a serverless Bedrock-based architecture blueprint, and implementation planning for production. They designed AI-powered metadata generation and species-identification workflows (using AWS models) and a hybrid semantic search approach, and proposed a GPU-based video transcoding architecture with S3 Intelligent Tiering for master/proxy storage. The team also specified AWS Marketplace SaaS deployment requirements, contributor upload workflows, and participated in ongoing architecture reviews and technical governance.
