The role ensures reliable, traceable, and consistent delivery of content updates from source systems into the target platform. Own and evolve the ingest service that maps, validates, persists, and exports video assets, metadata, and related status information. Implement update logics that can deal with changing source data, partner-side constraints, retries, idempotency, status tracking, and data consistency across distributed systems.
