Why This Topology Works
Asynchronous transcoding decouples upload from delivery. CDN serves pre-encoded segments at the edge. ClickHouse tracks engagement in real-time without impacting playback.
Scaling Notes
Transcode workers scale with queue depth. CDN absorbs traffic spikes. S3 provides unlimited segment storage with lifecycle policies for cost optimization.
Observability
Monitor transcode queue depth, CDN cache hit ratio, buffer events on the player, and ClickHouse query latency for dashboards.
