      Soon I'll start live streaming, and start from scratch, trying to build a SaaS product that consists out of multiple microservices. Running in a Kubernetes cluster in docker instances on AWS using Terraform, Github Actions, different backend languages/frameworks, trying to combine everything and show what that hassle of that process is, which walls you'll run into and how to solve each problem as elegant as possible.

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
    00:07 📹 Live streaming faces challenges due to real-time internet transmission and compute-intensive video processing.
    01:07 🌐 Encoders package video streams using protocols like RTMP, while newer options like SRT promise lower latency and network resilience.
    02:06 🌍 Point-of-presence servers are used to optimize upload conditions for streamers and ensure fast transmission to the platform.
    02:35 🔄 Adaptive bitrate streaming allows video players to adjust quality based on viewer's internet connection, and transcoding converts video streams into different resolutions.
    03:38 📦 Popular live-streaming formats include HLS and DASH, with HLS being the most widely used format, consisting of manifest files and video chunks.
    04:38 ⌛ Achieving lower latency may require sacrificing video quality, and some platforms offer options for streamers to adjust interactivity and quality.

    Is Live-streaming same as video calling? If not what's the difference?

    • @muizzy
      @muizzy 2 года назад +3

      Could be, but it has some potential simplifications. For example:
      In some scenarios (1:1), the quality may be requested by the client and the server-side transcoding can be omitted (almost) entirely. In most cases the number of necessary quality formats is lower and can be adjusted on the fly.
      Video calling also does not benefit from any CDN caching and can skip this step entirely.
      Basically: Video calling is just video streaming, but with a few potential optimisations due to the lower number of viewers.

    • @ByteByteGo
      @ByteByteGo  2 года назад +6

      Great question.
      Live streaming and video conferencing/calling implementations are quite different. Video conferencing could be an interesting video.
      The main difference is scale. Living streaming is 1-to-many, where the many could be in the millions. Video conferencing maxes out in the low hundreds, and the experience at that scale is not very good.
      Also, video conferencing is bi-directional. That imposes a different set of design constraints.
      To learn more about video conferencing, start with terms like WebRTC, SFU, and MCU.

      For live streaming, we believe the answer is yes. Both HLS and DASH are based on HTTP.
      If and when they are updated to support HTTP/3, then we can probably say that they use UDP, since HTTP/3 uses QUIC and QUIC is built on UDP.

      I respectfully disagree. Even as a North American native English speaker, Sahn’s narration is one of the main reasons why I love this content. If the channel used a fully-polished professional narrator, I would probably stop watching. Other professionally-narrated “talk over” explainer videos make me lose focus very quickly. Sahn’s accent is unique and casual, and yet also simple and clear. Even though he is reading from a script, it’s not annoying or bland. Instead, it comes across as “even” and “steady”, which is exactly what you want for this type of content. This is a very difficult balance to pull off. I also appreciate his “talking head” in the corner, as it gives the viewer another location to “rest” their eyes from the topic being animated. Again, simple without being distracting. As a leaner, I don’t want to be smothered by professionalism; I want to remain engaged in the topic, which I think the team achieves very well.
