This is something we want to add. I can take a stab at this week to see what I can add in.
But in the meantime I still think that EventBridge is overkill for this solution.
It is better to use the built in SNS functionality of MediaConvert to trigger a Lambda. (The SNS contains a lot of info laid out in the docs here
For this flow, do you expect to have a function if you only choose add an API? Or should we build this function even if without a API and let users modify the function? @smp thoughts on this part?

Hi!
Firstly, thank you for supporting this awesome project! Amplify is awesome!
Forgive me if this is in the wrong area or marked incorrectly - this is a question with a potential feature requests.
Issue #160, is this something that will be implemented soon or is it a non-issue?
Let me explain, from my understanding in the documentation and UnicornFlix demo, we handle the upload in the browser but we also set the Video Object and the VOD Asset in the client browser - is this good practice?
I often ask if it's good practice or not, I'm not a full-time dev but some things strike me as non-ideal ways of implementing things so I would greatly appreciate the feedback from those who are more experienced 😊.
Tried having a go at setting up a Lambda function to trigger when EventBridge detected a "SUCCESS" result from MediaConvert but none of the events (input, processing, failure, etc) return any details about the filename.
My goal was to have the Lambda function run the GraphQL mutation to create the VOD Asset once the upload and processing were successful.
One hack-y solution was to extract the filename from the file path in the event - is that good practise?
On the client end, there would be a subscription to retrieve the VOD Assets and only the successful ones or the ones processed so far would show.
The alternative was to set the Video Object and the VOD Asset in the client browser and set some sort of field for "processed" to get updated once the processing is complete.
Following on from this, would it be possible to add a feature request to automatically delete files from the input bucket when they've been successfully uploaded?
For now, with the events from MediaConvert, it returns the source bucket and file path, it should be possible to do.
Last question, is there a best practice for handling failed or partial uploads?
Following the documentation, we'll have a Video Object and VOD Asset created by GraphQL/AppSync in the client browser but a failed upload will still persist in S3 and the user will not be able to view their clips.
Thank you in advance and stay awesome!
