Transloadit vs DIY

Why Not Build It Yourself?

Building export infrastructure seems simple at first. Here's what you'll actually face when you try to do it yourself.

DIY Approach

✗2-4 weeks setup

✗Manual Integrations

✗Manual retries

✗Server + bandwidth costs

✗Ongoing maintenance

Transloadit

15 minutes setup

17+ providers built-in

Automatic with backoff

Pay only for usage

Zero maintenance needed

Your workflow. Your controls.

File exports without the pain

Stop maintaining storage glue code. Make delivery the final step of your workflow.

Bring your own storage

Send results to Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, Google Cloud Storage, Azure, and more.

Reuse saved credentials

Reference Template Credentials without exposing storage secrets to clients.

Choose output names and paths

Build destination paths from file properties and your own metadata.

Export more than one result

Save encoded media, thumbnails, transcripts, and other outputs together.

Write to multiple destinations

Add separate export steps for the providers your workflow needs.

Know whether storage succeeded

Inspect export results and Assembly errors before publishing download links.

Keep your app in the loop

Get per-file callbacks with /http/request (alpha), or an Assembly Notification when processing ends.

Make room for busy days

Buy extra priority slots in advance. Extra jobs queue when your slots are busy.

Keep spending in check

Set a soft bill limit for alerts or a hard limit to stop processing.

Try Transloadit

Deliver processed files to your storage

Connect export Steps to your file workflow and send results to supported storage destinations.

Managing exports is messy

Configure storage destinations in your Assembly

Output files need consistent names

Build paths with Assembly Variables

One result needs multiple destinations

Connect multiple export Steps

Credentials are duplicated in application code

Reuse saved Template Credentials

Only some results should be exported

Select the output Steps to store

Some exports fail silently

Inspect export results and Assembly errors

Frequently asked questions

Which storage providers can I export to?

Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, Google Cloud Storage, Azure, Backblaze, SFTP, and many more are supported. Choose the export Robot for your provider and add it to your Template. Browse all storage integrations.

Do I need an export step for permanent storage?

Yes. Default Assembly result URLs are temporary. Add an export step to save files in storage you control, then use those exported locations in your application. Learn how to save conversion results.

Can one workflow save files to several destinations?

Yes. Connect the same processing output to multiple export steps. Each destination needs its own configuration and credentials, and each export contributes to usage. Explore export Robots.

Can I customize filenames and folder paths?

Yes. Export Robots offer path options that can use Assembly Variables and supported expressions. Choose names deliberately and check your provider’s overwrite behavior. See S3 path options.

How do I keep storage credentials out of my frontend?

Save credentials as Template Credentials and reference them from your processing Template. Your server authorizes uploads; users do not need the destination storage secret. Read about Template Credentials.

How do I know when files are ready in storage?

Inspect Assembly results and errors, and use completion notifications to update your app. For a callback after an export step, use the HTTP request Robot (currently in alpha). Set payload to metadata to identify each file. Your endpoint must return 2xx before the request timeout, or the step fails. Explore HTTP callbacks.

How can I estimate and control costs?

Rates vary by operation and usage. Set a soft bill limit for alerts or a hard limit to stop processing. For larger workloads, ask about volume pricing and extra priority slots. Estimate your workflow costs.
