“WebRTC is a great technology for creating ultra-low latency interactive video applications. However, with most DIY technologies, scaling beyond 50,000 viewers or so is a challenge. You can use a WebRTC service provider to exceed these view counts but that gets expensive, and you lose flexibility.
One DIY alternative, the Ant Media Server, can deliver a sub0.5 second latency WebRTC experience to a six-figure audience for minimal cost. I recently participated in a simulated production with 150,000 viewers, and in this sponsored post, I’ll discuss the setup and
user experience.
In this guide, you will learn about how to scale up to 150K viewers with WebRTC in Auto Scalable Real-time Streaming with Ant Media Server.” Jan Ozer.
