Techniques for dynamic compute allocation in multiple-bitrate live video streaming are described. As one example, a computer-implemented method includes receiving a request to perform a real-time encode of a live video at a content delivery service, dynamically allocating, by the content delivery service, a set of compute resources between parallel encoders to respectively encode different renditions of the live video based at least in part on real-time usage data, performing parallel real-time encoding of each of the different renditions of the live video by the set of compute resources of the content delivery service, and transmitting at least one of the encoded different renditions of the live video from the content delivery service to a viewer device.
