If you run WebRTC at scale, a large share of your media goes through TURN relays. Restrictive NATs, enterprise firewalls, and clients that hide their IP addresses all push sessions onto relayed candidates, and when TURN server performance drops under load, call quality drops with it. This
LiveKit can run on Kubernetes without hostNetwork, which lets self-hosted LiveKit scale like any other workload and run in clusters that don’t allow host networking. Its pods stay private behind an ordinary ClusterIP Service, and STUNner, a Kubernetes-native TURN server, provides the single public address that WebRTC
STUNner is a Kubernetes-native TURN server, TURN being the relay protocol that gives WebRTC clients a public endpoint to send media through. It builds on the Gateway API to terminate TURN at a single load balancer endpoint and relay media to the pod behind it, so media-server
The Janus WebRTC Server is one of the most pleasant WebRTC media servers to build on, and it’s a bonus that it is open source. It’s small, fast, and modular: a thin C core with plugins for exactly the workloads you need, a clean signaling API, and
