How to develop a stream server?

Question

Server equipment

Hi all.
The question arose of creating our own stream server for audio/video broadcasting.
What technologies are best used for this? It is the development of one's own that is of interest, and not the use of ready-made services, which ultimately lead to a vendor lock.
PS NodeJS is the best fit for this role. it has stream support at the system level. The server provides requests and responses as Readable Stream and Writable Stream respectively. Who can advise on this?

Answer 1

because it has stream support at the system level

what flows are you talking about? I/O streams? The situation is the same in PHP/Ruby/Python/Go/C#/Java. But node.js is single-threaded and there can be problems with debugging such wonderful things as memory leaks, etc.
There are not enough details to answer your question. To whom and what are you going to stream? Realtime? One thread per user or several, and so on. All sorts of fancy protocols like RTP?

Answer 2

In general, for video streaming, there have been special protocols for 10-15 years, and you are asking some nonsense from the wrong opera.
In your case, take standard protocols and implement what you know best, although in high-level languages, it will be hard to work with bits. You can also try to reinvent your wheel based on existing protocols, but I think you should not bother with this.
Plus, the standard is the standard, you can support many other devices and programs with your server.

Yes, by the way, there are ready-made libs with protocol implementations, google it! :)
