Someone woke up one day with a $8,000 bill while encoding videos:

There's also this pretty architecture overview in the repo:

In my opinion, it's too complex and I'd prefer a more simple solution to get to market faster.

Imagine adding just a few lines of code to get started instead of setting up all these things on AWS, where you might end up paying up to $0.12/GB for outgoing bandwidth as well.
