Python
Homepage / info page
What is it?
A high-level scripting language.
Why did we choose it?
Solely because an existing FFmpeg tutorial for resizing videos in AWS Lambda was written in it, so I decided to use that code as a base and heavily modify it rather than try to do it in an entirely different language.
What do we use it for?
The serverless code function that is used to resize and re-encode videos on Deserted Chateau, so that they display well and don't eat crazy amounts of bandwidth.
