    > dedicated signalling

    For my small projects I run my HTTP + WebRTC in the same server. My signaling is one POST. Maybe I am missing the complexity, but I don't feel any additional pain compared to running any network service?

    > STUN Karate

    Mind explaining more? I use https://github.com/pion/turn and run my STUN server embedded in my HTTP server. I do do anything but point my `PeerConnection` at `my-service.com`

  • How do I deploy a TURN server for WebRTC apps on heroku?

    I've tried node-turn in a node.js server, tried to execute pion/turn binaries directly so far but with no luck. `node-turn` works if I run locally and test it with my public ip address but the same doesn't work on heroku.
