Project Summary
ScrumLaunch built a responsive Angular web application and a scalable video transcoding engine (Go, Python) for a cloud-based video analysis platform. They transcoded many input formats to web-friendly outputs (MP4, HLS, WebM) and optimized AWS CPU usage to reduce costs. The platform scaled to hundreds of thousands of hours of uploaded video and attracted thousands of users, including professional, college, and high school sports teams. The vendor integrated into remote scrum processes and provided strong communication and access to the development team.
Key Challenges
- Needed development assistance to build a cloud-based video analysis platform and transcoding engine.
- Required a responsive frontend for interacting, clipping, editing, commenting, and annotating video.
- Wanted to enable sports teams of all levels to use video to improve performance.
Project Deliverables
- Responsive Angular web application
- Scalable video transcoding engine built in Go and Python
- Transcoding pipeline supporting MTS, MOV, WMV, AVI to MP4, HLS, and WebM
- Frontend co-refactoring and AWS CPU optimization
Project Solution
ScrumLaunch delivered a dedicated engineering team that built a responsive Angular web application enabling users to interact with, clip, edit, comment on, and draw annotations in video. They architected and implemented a scalable transcoding engine in Go and Python to convert nearly any input format (MTS, MOV, WMV, AVI) into web-friendly outputs (MP4, HLS, WebM). The team co-refactored the frontend and optimized AWS CPU usage to lower transcoding costs and support large-scale uploads.
Project Outcome
- Gained thousands of users, including professional, college, and high school sports teams.
- Platform usage included teams featured in the Olympics and on television.
- Optimized AWS CPU usage to reduce transcoding costs.
- Smooth remote scrum process with direct access to developers and effective communication.
