Cost Model By Video Minute
This document captures the reproducible planning baseline for performance plan item Cost model by video minute.
What this model is:
- A benchmark-backed planning model for cost per source-video minute.
- Derived from the checked-in FFmpeg runtime baseline and object-storage bandwidth baseline.
- Based on explicit example cost assumptions that are intended to be replaced with current vendor-specific prices during rollout.
What this model is not:
- It is not live cloud pricing.
- It is not a production invoice forecast.
- It does not include cross-region egress, observability platform costs, database costs, or support overhead.
How to rerun:
mvn -q -Dtest=CostModelBenchmarkHarness test

Interpretation notes:
computereflects FFmpeg worker time from the preset benchmark.transferreflects worker time spent waiting on object-storage throughput assumptions.retentionscales with source and output bitrate assumptions plus retention days.requestscaptures one source GET plus clip PUT activity and remains a minor component in the modeled scenarios.
Operational note:
- Replace the example hourly and storage rates with current prices from the target cloud before using this model for budgeting or margin decisions.
