BACON uses YouTube's Partner and Content APIs to immediately identify and claim newly uploaded 3rd party content across over 2,000 YouTube channels.• Royalty Transaction Processing. Introduced a new framework to process royalty transactions processing scripts yielding a 50x improvement in per-row processing time. • Analytics API. A new internal API to feed data visualizations in our client workstation, improving graph response times by 30x.• Cloud Infrastructure. Moved key components of the technology infrastructure to AWS to speed development cycles, cut costs and provide better DR and security. Currently a hybrid environment under a VPC, the platform utilizes a range of services including SWF, SQS, SNS, S3, EC2, Elastic Beanstalk, CloudSearch, Redshift, DynamoDB, and RDS.
