Origin failover for live streaming

A system, comprising one or more computing devices configured to:

• provision a plurality of origin stacks, each origin stack including a set of computing resources configured to encode broadcast content;
• for each origin stack, generate one or more streams of the encoded broadcast content for consumption by a corresponding plurality of client devices;
• provide first manifest information to a first client device, the first manifest information being configured to enable the first client device to access a first stream of the encoded broadcast content originating from a first origin stack;
• provide the first stream of the encoded broadcast content to the first client device;
• monitor each of the origin stacks to determine whether each of the origin stacks is reliably generating the corresponding one or more streams of the encoded broadcast content;
• determine that the first origin stack is not reliably generating the corresponding one or more streams of the encoded broadcast content;
• and
• in response to determining that the first origin stack is not reliably generating the corresponding one or more streams of the encoded broadcast content, migrate the plurality of client devices corresponding to the first origin stack to one or more of the other origin stacks, wherein migration of the plurality of client devices includes providing second manifest information to the first client device, the second manifest information being configured to enable the first client device to transition to a second stream of the encoded broadcast content originating from a second origin stack.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• provisioning a plurality of origin stacks, each origin stack including a set of computing resources configured to encode broadcast content;
• for each origin stack, generating one or more streams of the encoded broadcast content for consumption by a corresponding plurality of client devices;
• providing first manifest information to a first client device, the first manifest information being configured to enable the first client device to access a first stream of the encoded broadcast content originating from a first origin stack;
• providing the first stream of the encoded broadcast content to the first client device;
• monitoring each of the origin stacks to determine whether each of the origin stacks is reliably generating the corresponding one or more streams of the encoded broadcast content;
• determining that the first origin stack is not reliably generating the corresponding one or more streams of the encoded broadcast content;
• and
• in response to determining that the first origin stack is not reliably generating the corresponding one or more streams of the encoded broadcast content, migrating the plurality of client devices corresponding to the first origin stack to one or more of the other origin stacks, wherein migrating the plurality of client devices includes providing second manifest information to the first client device, the second manifest information being configured to enable the first client device to transition to a second stream of the encoded broadcast content originating from a second origin stack.
