Hi.
I was trying to find a way to prevent server crash every time I do a streaming.
Basically I have a popular movie website and every time I release an episode I get minimum 30k live viewers and whenever I pass 8k live viewers, 20gbit bandwidth becomes useless. I tried to put 5mbps bandwidth limit occasionally to prevent server crash but it didn’t do much. And I don’t want to rent 100 gbit network bandwidth every time I release an episode. So my question is, is there a way to deal with 30 to 60k live viewers only by using 20 gbit network or I just need to rent 100 gbit network occasionally?
Thank you!
You can always look to implement webtorrent. It does not work everywhere, but it works very well.
Basically how it works it’s that you have a streemable file, you make a torrent, and a javascript client on the browser it’s capable of downloading and streaming it.
