That is why almost nobody bothers to do it themselves outside of big tech.
- meindnoch 3y agoNo it's not. Just use PeerTube.
- inemesitaffia 3y agoNo you don't. There's Bunny CDN though
- trimethylpurine 3y agoI've personally run servers for several businesses in the streaming education space. And one business that serves over 40,000 concurrent connections. The entire business fits into 1.5 racks at a local DC. The monthly cost is under $5,000 for the service, space, and cooling. There is an initial cost to purchase some servers, switches, etc. I'd be surprised if Khan academy had much more than that many active connections. It's really just not that expensive, no matter how much AWS wants to sell you on that falsehood.
