AWS lets us upload 75GB of Lambda functions. Each function can be 50MB in size. We simply split up the video into Lambda functions. There's a few problems with this though, first off Lambda only allows zip files. How do we get around this, we zip up the video.

Now we have another problem, to play the video we'd need to unzip it. That's where we cam do two little tricks, first when we zip up the file with 0% compression. This allows the original file to remain intact, but the zipping process just wraps some headers around the files (like a tarball). But video players aren't going to want to play a zip file, so that's where HLS standards come in to the rescue.

By using HLS we can split the file into multiple chunks and create a playlist of videos to play seamlessly together. A m3u8 HLS file looks something like this
