How Mux shipped durable video workflows with their @mux/ai SDK

Dylan Jhaveri from Mux discusses the integration of Vercel's Workflow DevKit with the @mux/ai SDK, which aims to simplify the deployment of durable AI workflows for video processing. AI workflows often face interruptions due to network issues or server errors, leading to inefficiencies and increased costs. By adopting Workflow DevKit, developers can execute durable workflows without complex infrastructure, as it allows functions to run in any Node.js environment with added features like state persistence, retries, and observability when needed. The SDK supports various video AI tasks such as content moderation, chapter generation, and translation, and is designed to be model-agnostic, letting users choose between AI models like OpenAI or Anthropic. Workflow DevKit’s portability allows it to be deployed seamlessly on platforms like Vercel, which provides automatic scaling and built-in observability, ensuring that developers can focus on building features rather than managing infrastructure.
