Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • livekit

    End-to-end stack for WebRTC. SFU media server and SDKs.

  • webrtc

    A pure Rust implementation of WebRTC (by webrtc-rs)

    I think https://webrtc.rs/ is our best bet for this future. I am very optimistic about it. The security/memory safety aspect of it is just so important.

    So many important things are happening over WebRTC (telemedicine, remote control of dangerous machines...) I just would hate to see one of these C++ memory bugs have a negative impact.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • libwebrtc

    LibWebRTC tooling, rust bindings and more

    I'd recommend Rust for your shared client core, even though for short-term practicality you probably have to keep using Google's C++ WebRTC library, because translating your existing high-level client code to safe Rust would be easier than translating it to reasonably safe C++.

    If you're interested in pursuing this, the best starting point I've found for using the WebRTC C++ library from Rust is this: https://github.com/arcas-io/libwebrtc So far it looks like it only works on Linux and Mac.

  • OvenMediaEngine

    OvenMediaEngine (OME) is a Sub-Second Latency Live Streaming Server with Large-Scale and High-Definition. #WebRTC #LLHLS

  • ringrtc

    If you did not know, there is also https://github.com/signalapp/ringrtc by the Signal App team, which is written in Rust

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
