Full gRPC Streaming on AWS: ALB to ECS Architecture​

This architecture pattern is the definitive solution for running full-featured, high-performance gRPC services on AWS, leveraging dedicated container services (ECS/EKS) and the Application Load Balancer (ALB) for robust HTTP/2 transport.

Processing media files inside AWS Lambda can be a challenge due to its resource limits, lack of a local disk, and timeouts. However, it’s entirely possible to stream files directly from S3 into FFmpeg, process them on the fly, and avoid writing anything to disk.

In this guide, we’ll cover:

• Streaming files from S3 into Lambda
• Using ffmpeg with stdin and stdout in memory
• Avoiding /tmp bottlenecks
• Examples and production-ready patterns
