Rebuilding Netflix Video Processing Pipeline with Microservices

This post introduces the initiative to rebuild the Netflix video processing pipeline using microservices on the Cosmos platform. It details the limitations of the previous monolithic Reloaded platform, such as coupled functionality, monolithic structure, and long release cycles, which hindered development velocity. The post outlines the strategy for defining service boundaries in Cosmos, using the example of separating video encoding and quality assessment into distinct microservices (Video Encoding Service and Video Quality Service). It also lists the initial set of video services created as part of this rebuild.
