Scaling WebRTC
Many of today's real-time video streaming platforms solve for scale by adding servers.
Rather than throwing more servers at scale, Phenix took a step back and architected a system intended for scale.
We had a wonderful time catching up with industry leaders and unveiling new innovations & partnerships. We're thrilled to be pushing boundaries of what's possible and shaping the future of broadcast media.
At SBC Summit in Barcelona, we had the pleasure to reconnect with partners and stay updated on the latest developments in the world of horse racing and competitive gaming.
At the Google Cloud Next Summit, we had the opportunity to connect with several teams who, like us, are making significant contributions to the transformation of the Real-Time video streaming.
Had an amazing time at Oracle Cloud World, engaging with some of the innovators in the industry. Excited to see how these collaborations and discussions will shape the future of video streaming.
