Designing for Live Stream Failure with Seamless Switching
Description
Designing for failure is a well-known principle for cloud architectures. When applied to live streaming, this is even more important, as not only do you want your stream to continue through any resource failures or issues, you also want seamless audience experience to be maintained with no gaps in the coverage, so viewers never even notice potential issues. To achieve this level of resilience, you need a distributed system with redundancy and synchronization between encoding resources so any switching between them can graceful and invisible to anyone watching the output. In this talk, John Saxton, Senior Software Development Engineer at AWS Elemental, will dive into the world for live encoder synchronization and how that differs for on-premises and cloud native implementations, and future applications of the technology in critical live streaming scenarios.
Presented at Demuxed 2019 in San Francisco.
