How microservices bring the best out of cloud video operations

A microservices software architecture breaks applications into smaller component parts that developers can work on independently, resulting in faster changes with lower risk, and so improved business agility. Here, Mark Christie, CTO at Piksel, and Clive Malcher, SVP Commercial Development at Piksel, explain how microservices bring the best out of cloud deployments for video processing and workflows. Parts of a service, like pay-per-view authentication, can scale independently of the rest of a software stack, reducing cloud resource costs, for example. This video interview outlines what microservices are, the organisational changes needed to adopt this software model, and more of the associated benefits.
