I think even with turn there's lots of chatter back and forth. Connected clients can NACK for frames and ask for a bandwidth reduction. I think the expected optimal implementation is that the group of WebRTC participants normalize towa

It looks like they support RTMP and a few other streaming methods. Maybe it's just WebRTC for ingress and then it converts to other formats. Given the advertised 500ms of latency I imagine it's not WebRTC->WebRTC.

Conceivably this could be leveraged to allow docker for mac to only push deltas to the build virtual machine when running docker build, correct? Currently docker build compressed everything in the working directory on every build. This is f

It seems that "platform" in this instance is referring to some kind of CDN. Some CDNs handle redirects well, but some don't. Cloudflare workers are on the "edge" and this is "edge SEO" (apparently). Most C

Surely they’re not using wasmer. They’re using cranelift with their own runtime, correct? This talk mentions a cranelift runtime fastly built in-house. https://youtu.be/FkM1L8-qcjU

Correct, no central server. It does use google's stun server to establish the connection, but you can swap that out with another stun server with the -s flag (it's easy to host your own and there are many free stun servers) The -o
