About the Talk
Today’s CDNs aren’t optimized for real-time, scalable, multi-way live streaming. See how an XDN (Experience Delivery Network) helps deliver seamless interactive experiences for massive audiences by managing signal acquisition/ingest, latency, interactivity, and scaling in the cloud.
What You’ll Learn
- When to use cloud services, edge compute, and traditional CDNs
- Protocols that reduce live streaming latency
- Monitoring strategies that deliver seamless viewer experience
- Avoiding vendor lock-in by controlling your stack
This Talk Is Designed For
- Software developers
- Anyone that wants to build applications that offer live, interactive streaming
- Broadcasters and businesses that use OTT (over-the-top communications)
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of how streaming is applied to cloud-based distribution and delivery to end users
