    hey Dave,

    This was an exceptional episode. I had a few questions/requests:
    - I'm wondering whether you could provide a few more resources about what you researched in order to figure out how to work with FFMPEG and HLS. For example, how often and where might you look to keep tabs on new developments/make updates so that you keep up with high quality video serving?
    - What are the tradeoffs that you've found to using mp4 over webm ? Since we have already broken out ffmpeg, should we add a step to transcode  to webm instead of mp4?
    - I'm curious why did you choose to go with a bash script over writing an FFMPEG wrapper in ruby (or using an existing gem, like streamio-ffmpeg)?
    - When you deploy this to production -- how do you monitor resource usage/failures?
    - How might you write tests for an the `ConvertHls` class?
    - How might you debug the bash script if you deploy to prod?

    Thanks!

    when we download in the stream controller, does that remain on the server or does rails clear the cache later (or something else)?

     ☒Thanks!  My current cluster is running 2 servers @ 4GB RAM each, so should be fine for the small amount of traffic that I have. I think what I'll want to know is how I can monitor so I know when I need to scale further.
