I was reading about the cinematography of _Collateral_, possibly the first large budget feature film to be shot digitally, and one of the issues back in 2004 when it was made was the amount of storage required for digital video and the risk of not being able to retrieve the images from the data stores: > “We did massive testing with the hard drives, and everything was great, and then we had an experience where we sho…
I read through that whole article thinking, - I wonder what the UI looks like compared to tools I use now - I wonder if there will be a free tier, since my video needs are modest It never occurred to me until I reached the end that this wasn't a "enjoy this tool we made" post, but instead a "look how awesome we are" post. :-/
It’s a company that prioritizes micro services and enterprise style crud apps internally. I’ve seen so many of their presentations and it’s like an IBM demo.
It’s data , data, data. That’s their approach to everything.
15 years ago, the first start up I worked for provided APIs for music streaming in India. One of the founders who managed all infra was in US, and so the servers (bare metal) were in LA.

Ha! Yes sure, but it does make sense that they’d keep something like this to themselves. Creating massive amounts of high quality content efficiently, on a global scale, with seamless global distribution is an incredible competitive advantage. I don’t see why they would provide it to anyone outside of their ecosystem. It’ll be interesting to see if they translate this to games as well.
