So I'll just drop this here just in case but I coded like last week a video sharing platform based on AWS S3 + ElasticTranscoder. It's surprisingly easy to do (let's say 1~2 weeks of work on the video upload/play system). To handle uploads I use tus (with the official tusd implementation) and to manage the transcoding I forked videofront (mostly to upgrade the dependencies). And of course plyr for the video player (as seen above, very low performance impact). Works well for me!
Kudos to the dev team!

Same 😄
And yeah, it's been great! We still have some UX to work out but the nuts and bolts have been awesome.
