{
  "timestamp": "2025-04-24T15:30:45Z",
  "overallStatus": "partialSuccess",
  "services": [
    {
      "service": "service-1",
      "status": "success",
      "responseTime": 5123,
      "response": {
        "success": true,
        "message": "Service 1 completed successfully",
        "campaignId": "CAMPAIGN_X",
        "videoName": "uploaded-video.mp4",
        "service": "service-1"
      }
    },
    {
      "service": "service-2",
      "status": "success",
      "responseTime": 15345,
      "response": {
        "success": true,
        "message": "Service 2 completed successfully",
        "campaignId": "CAMPAIGN_X",
        "videoName": "uploaded-video.mp4",
        "service": "service-2"
      }
    },
    {
      "service": "service-3",
      "status": "error",
      "responseTime": 60000,
      "error": "Request timed out after 60 seconds"
    }
  ]
}

Implementation Requirements

• Implement proper timeout handling (suggest 60 seconds per service)
• Process all services concurrently
• Handle partial failures appropriately
• Ensure the endpoint responds even if some services fail
• Include appropriate error handling and logging
