Building an API-Native Render Pipeline

Patterns for integrating AI video generation into automated product and content systems.

By Rahul Menon

Modern teams often need to generate video as part of a larger workflow.

An API-native architecture typically includes:

  • A request service that validates and queues generation jobs.
  • Webhook handling for completion and failure events.
  • A media pipeline that stores and distributes rendered assets.

The critical design decision is idempotency.

Use stable request IDs so retries never create duplicate renders.
