Learn how Mixpeek uses Tigris Object Notifications and globally distributed object storage to build an event-driven ingestion pipeline for multimodal media.

Tigris

Mixpeek is a multimodal intelligence layer that indexes video, audio, images, and PDFs stored in object storage, making them semantically searchable. When paired with Tigris object storage, the pipeline becomes fully event-driven: Tigris Object Notifications fire an HTTP POST webhook the moment a file lands in a bucket, eliminating the need for polling-based ingestion. The post explains why polling fails at scale (indexing lag, wasted reads, thundering herds), how Tigris's global distribution and zero egress fees benefit repeated reads during extraction, and how Mixpeek handles reliability concerns like dead letter queues, idempotent ingestion, and distributed locking. The result is a push-based pipeline where uploads are automatically transcribed, embedded, and made queryable without manual tagging or cron jobs.
