Implement a Media Transcoding API with Amazon API Gateway

Practice refactoring an existing serverless application by adding API endpoints. In this hands-on lab, you’ll review a video processing pipeline backed by AWS Lambda, Amazon EventBridge, and AWS Element Media Convert. You’ll then build out API endpoints to either run the MediaConvert job, or check the status of an existing job based on job or object ID.
