Abstract
There is provided a load balancer including a computing platform having processing hardware and a memory storing a software code. The processing hardware is configured to execute the software code to receive production data describing a media workflow, determine, using the production data, a priority status of the media workflow, identify production resources for processing the media workflow, and allocate, based on the priority status, one or more of the production resources to processing of the media workflow. In some implementations, the priority status is determined based on the type of content included in the media workflow. Moreover, in some implementations, the priority status is determined further based on a distribution schedule of a content feed corresponding to the media workflow.
