Panda – cloud video encoding php rest api

פורסם ב: by

Getting started with Panda

At the core of Panda is a REST API which supports uploading and managing of videos, encodings and output profiles.

Every Panda account has a number of clouds. Each cloud defines a single storage for your uploaded videos, resulting encodings and thumbnails.

Typically you will want to create a separate cloud for each website you plan to integrate Panda into. You can also use clouds to separate production and staging environments.

To access the API there are client libraries available in many languages: See all client libraries. Refer to the API Docs when using the API. All API responses are JSON-formatted.

The following guides are also available: Rails How-to and PHP How-to.

API Reference.

Live Vertical Scaling for Big Data – Today!

You may have heard of Software Defined Networking: the concept of creating, maintaining, and evolving data-center wide networks based on VLANs and software configuration instead of physical (re-)wiring. One may apply the same core concepts of run-time configurability to actual servers, to the end-points connected via SDNs. Enabled by virtualization, a machine’s characteristics may be adjusted at run-time, e.g. to counter overload situations, or to change the role of a system on the fly.

Agile Essence and Fluency

As agile software has got more accepted and popular, it’s also been subject to a fair bit of misunderstanding.

Google Cloud Platform Blog: Scaling MySQL in the cloud with Vitess and Kubernetes

פורסם ב: by

Vitess is available as an open-source project and runs best in a containerized environment. With Kubernetes and Google Container Engine as your container cluster manager, it’s now a lot easier to get started. We’ve created a single deployment configuration for Vitess that works on any platform that Kubernetes supports.

In addition to being easy to deploy in a container cluster, Vitess also takes full advantage of the benefits offered by a container cluster manager, in particular:

  • Horizontal scaling – add capacity by launching additional nodes rather than making one huge node
  • Dynamic placement – let the cluster manager schedule Vitess containers wherever it wants
  • Declarative specification – describe your desired end state, and let the cluster manager create it
  • Self-healing components – recover automatically from machine failures

In this environment, Vitess provides a MySQL storage layer with improved durability, scalability, and manageability.
