- dv35z 4y agoAny suggested tech stack for this? I posted a similar question to this recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34384732 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34384732

You can have all the bandwidth in the world, but the magic that Youtube does is mainly dealing with the users' bandwidth, for example, it switches video resolution on the fly when it notices that frames are going to have to be dropped soon.
