Having gained some experience in delivering a free service through the GitHub Student Developer Pack and the Github Teacher Toolbox, Transloadit was highly requested to extend a similar deal to more developers. We think this is a great idea and we couldn't be happier to announce we will be doing just that with our new Community Plan.

Today, we are very happy to announce Transloadit's very own Terraform Provider Plugin! In this blog post, we'll go about explaining why that has got us so excited, and how you can set it up for yourself.

Like us at Transloadit, you are probably a fan of streaming services 🎥 But have you ever considered starting your own? Our /video/adaptive Robot has you covered in case you did have a wild idea like that! You can use this Robot to encode mp4 or webm video to either HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) or MPEG-DASH.

In August 2019, we partnered with the GitHub Student Developer Pack, offering students from all over the world our Startup Plan worth $49/month for free while they’re in school.

We'd like to give you an inside look at a fun event we took part in between the 29th of February and 1st of March: Hack the Burgh, a hackathon in the Major League Hacking circuit. It took place in my hometown of Edinburgh and Transloadit was there as a sponsor.

We'd like to share a change to our API that we'll be making on April 30, 2020. On that day, we will change all the names that our customers have given to their Templates to a format that is URL-safe. If, for instance, your Template was previously called Video encode for Apple Devices, the new name will be video-encode-for-apple-devices.

Good news, everyone!

We're happy to share that we are launching a new line of AI bots in Tech Preview. We've had one AI Robot in production for some time: /image/facedetect. It's powered by internal software and we've been pleased with its performance. Today's announced bots, however, are powered by external cloud services.

Our Zapier integration is getting a lot of interest recently. Just last week, three different customers/prospects inquired about how to automate some of their business processes using Transloadit and Zapier. While helping them get set up, I decided to document these steps as well, and to write a blog. So far now, we've shared step-by-step guides on how to:

When we started Transloadit ten years ago and began documenting our project, the docs covered uploading to S3, our jQuery SDK, resizing images, and encoding videos. Looking back, this was just a splash in the pond in comparison to what was to come.

Recently, a post by Julian covered the new /digitalocean/store Robot, showcasing a new file exporting provider compatible with Transloadit. As somewhat of a follow-up to that blog (and partly because I felt that Azure could do with some love and attention) we'll dive into the subject of Microsoft Azure containers and how to get them set up!
