Streamline runs long-lived video pipelines with Workers and Containers
Streamline combines Workers, Containers, and media protocols to modify video and publish the result as a livestream or hosted video; processing runs independently of the initiating request. The pattern is useful for designing durable workloads that outlast a request lifecycle.
- What
- Streamline is a Cloudflare playground for building custom video pipelines that modify video and publish the output as a livestream or hosted video.
- How
- A Worker controls a Container-hosted media engine; processing continues if the Worker disconnects, and preview video can travel through a Durable Object relay.
- Why it matters
- The design separates long-running media processing from request lifecycles, a useful pattern for systems that handle work lasting minutes or hours.
