that's amazing news bc I genuinely can't wrap my head around it. I don't think I've ever seen any app do video uploads this fast. IG & TikTok just have uploads happen in the background bc they take ~a minute, and they only have one source of truth whereas you have to upload to both the pds and cdn.

id assume either dedicated hardware (e.g. fpgas) or better presets or both? they've never used bunny stream to my knowledge
