HTML5 Video: Transcoding with Node.js and AWS. I recently worked on a video project, and I had a chance to use the relatively new AWS Elastic Transcoder with Node.js.
Along the way, I learned a lot about video on the web, and I thought I’d share some of my experiences. The current state of video on the web is a bit confusing, so here goes my best explanation of it. Real-time Engines in Node.js. Node arrived on the scene around the time the WebSocket protocol was drafted.
Node’s fast, evented approach to server-side programming was a perfect pairing for WebSocket. Out of that marriage emerged the popular socket.io framework: an instant favorite used heavily in the first Node Knockout competition. Now that WebSocket is mature and has support in all the modern desktop browsers and most mobile platforms, the dust has settled a bit.
