[API Gateway / Load Balancer]
|
[Application Server]
|--- validate prompt & estimate cost
|--- enqueue job to Redis/SQS
|
[Job Queue (Redis / SQS / Pub/Sub)]
|
[Worker Pool (N workers)]
|--- generate JWT token
|--- POST https://api.klingai.com/v1/videos/text2video
|--- receive task_id
|--- register callback_url OR poll
|
[Webhook Receiver / Poller]
|--- receive completion callback
|--- download video from Kling CDN
|--- upload to S3/GCS
|--- update job status in DB
|--- notify user
|
[Object Storage (S3 / GCS)]
