Intro to WebSocket Streaming with RunPod Serverless

The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide for creating a serverless endpoint using RunPod to process base64-encoded files, specifically focusing on image processing. It begins with setting up the development environment, including prerequisites such as Python 3.8 or later, Docker Desktop, and necessary accounts with DockerHub and RunPod. The core functionality is implemented in a handler script that simulates image processing by dividing the image data into chunks, processing each chunk, and streaming the results back to the client. A Dockerfile and requirements.txt are created to build and push the image to DockerHub. The process includes building the Docker image, pushing it to DockerHub, and running the endpoint, followed by a demonstration of interacting with the endpoint via a Python script to send and receive base64-encoded image data. This setup allows users to handle various file processing tasks in a serverless environment while providing real-time feedback.
