Reject.JS is an annual, community-driven JavaScript conference that will be held in Berlin on September 24, 2015 - this Thursday! It is for the community and by the community, and intended for people whose talk did not get accepted to JSConf EU, as well as attendees who didn't get a ticket to that event.

We are sponsoring Nodevember and have a free ticket to give away!

I was writing internal documentation on how I set up automated language checking at Transloadit. Halfway through, I figured this could be useful to the rest of the world 🌎 as well, so I rewrote it in a more generic fashion. I will attempt to first give a high-level overview of the problem, before driving all the way down to the low-level nuts and bolts of solving it. I hope you'll enjoy, here goes!

Encoding is hard work for servers. When we started this business, we knew from the start that it would be much easier for customers to send us jobs than it would be for us to process them. Given highly variable bursts in encoding jobs and a finite budget, queues are inherent to this business.

Just a quick post to let you know we are sponsoring BrooklynJS and that we are giving away two free tickets to this sold-out event.

Transloadit has been growing steadily for some time now. It has allowed us to sponsor more hackathons, bring new people on board and invest a good chunk of time in tus, which is nearing a 1.0 release. We were able to both cut costs and generate more revenue as well – an increase of 20% in July alone.

Transloadit is a small team of engineers, it is code, it is a highly scalable platform, it is a bunch of quirky robots that you can tell to import and convert media. At the hearts of these robots often lay open source tools that do the heavy lifting. One tool stands out in particular: FFmpeg.

As people are moving more parts of their life to digital platforms, stakes are getting higher and keeping them safe becomes more important than ever.

We would like to inform you of a change that may inflict compatibility breakage. If you are not using our jQuery SDK or if you are using the latest version from assets.transloadit.com, you are free to stop reading now. 😄

We are very pleased to announce that we have made some considerable performance upgrades over the past few weeks, which will make the average Assembly run faster by about 20-40%.
