From open source projects to commercial solutions, which option is best for you?Home / Our Partners / Other Tech.

HomeFrom open source projects to commercial solutions, which option is best for you?Home / Our Partners / Other Tech

There are an overwhelming number of choices in WebRTC tech today.

When we first started to build WebRTC-based applications in 2015, there were not many architectural options. The WebRTC landscape has certainly changed!

Since the inception of the WebRTC standard, the number of architectural choices has gone way beyond libWebRTC and the JavaScript API. While in some cases you might still choose to build directly against the standard, for the vast majority of situations you will still need a media server-based solution in order to achieve high scale and functionality.

The choice is not easy. Our team of experts can guide you through the plethora of open source and commercial solutions and help you make the best architectural choice for your current use case and your business growth plans. We will help you find the best balance of built-in functionality, up-front development and licensing costs, ongoing operational costs, and more.

Open Source Solutions include:

Commercial CPaaS Solutions include:

Which is the right solution for you? We’ve included some general answers to common questions below. But the reality is there is no single right or wrong answer. It all depends on your use case, budget, features, business model, licensing/IP requirements, and more.

Our team of experts can help you assess if you need to switch from one provider to another. We can also perform the switch or build a prototype on an alternative architecture.

WebRTC Architectural FAQs

Should I use a CPaaS or Open Source?
Most often this choice comes down to questions of budget, licensing, and operational costs and expertise. If you need to have complete control of your infrastructure, then open source solutions which you can deploy, control and scale yourself are likely the best choice and will lower your transactional costs of each call. However, they require a lot of expensive DevOps expertise and extra attention paid to scaling and infrastructure.
What if Intellectual Property is my main concern?
That can be tricky. What is your IP really focused on? Is it something about the media server technology? Or is it something adjacent to the video? Many startups build on top of a CPaaS, and not all open source projects come with the same type of licensing requirements.
What if I need an on-premise or hybrid-cloud solution?
Most WebRTC media servers are built for the cloud. However, there are options available for on-premise. LiveSwitch is the primary CPaaS to offer licensing for on-premise or hybrid-cloud solutions. You can also host an open source project on-premise.
What if I need to integrate with telephony and VOIP solutions?
Projects like Asterisk, Kamailio, and Freeswitch are already commonly used in contact centers and offer WebRTC integration options. Other projects like Janus have plugins that allow you to bridge over to telephony systems. CPaaS’s such as Vonage and the Amazon Chime SDK also offer the ability to integrate with contact center solutions in addition to their own commercial solutions.
What if I need to integrate with AI/ML services for transcription and other media processing services?
Virtually any WebRTC media server has some option for integrating with external APIs if you want to do processing of media in real-time or for post-production. This may vary widely, so careful attention should be paid to these requirements in your solutions so that you don’t introduce excessive costs or latency to your application, while also avoiding re-inventing the wheel. We have integrated with external services like Symbl.ai, and solutions like the Amazon Chime SDK can be integrated with the many AI/ML solutions that AWS offers.
