Unique: Uses database-backed job queue (pendingVideos table) instead of message queue services (SQS, Kafka), enabling simple deployment without additional infrastructure. Implements CI/CD pipeline (.github/workflows/deploy-ec2.yml) that automates EC2 worker deployment, enabling rapid scaling and updates without manual SSH access.

vs others: Simpler to deploy than SQS-based queues because it uses existing database infrastructure, though less scalable at very high throughput (>1000 jobs/minute). More cost-effective than serverless rendering (Lambda) because EC2 instances can be kept warm and reused across multiple jobs.
