The system ingests RTMP streams, transcodes them into multiple resolutions (1080p, 720p, 480p) using GPU hardware acceleration via Vulkan Video Extensions, packages output as fragmented MP4 (CMAF), and distributes via HLS. The tutorial covers creating a Mix project, configuring dependencies, building the Membrane pipeline with OTP supervision trees, implementing file and S3 storage backends, and building a production release. It is the first in a series, with future chapters covering Kubernetes clustering, cloud deployment with GPU runners, CDN configuration, and observability. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
