Description

VideoCutTool is a tool to trim, crop, rotate on-the-fly videos in Wikimedia Commons. It is hosted in Wikimedia Toolforge and can be found at https://tools.wmflabs.org/video-cut-tool/

Background

Currently, VideoCutTool is not scaled to handle the requests from multiple users at once.
The server is going down if it gets multiple requests at the same time.

Task:
Learn about VideoCutTool from Commons: VideoCutTool
Scale the tool to handle the multiple requests of the users without crashing the server.

Any possible solution is appreciated and accepted :)
