7/ Scale by design, not by accident

Don't wait for an incident to fix your architecture

At @OpenVidu, we’ve battle-tested this roadmap so you don't have to build it from scratch—get HA on AWS, GCP, Azure, DO, and OCI.

🧵 The Architecture of Scale: Video Conferencing Edition

Launch week is great until a customer schedules a company-wide call

Hundreds join

CPU spikes, bandwidth saturates, and video freezes

Why did it fail?

Real-time media scales very differently from traditional web apps👇

6/ Phase 3: High Availability (The Control Plane) 🛡️

100 media nodes won't save you if your orchestrator is a single point of failure

You need:

🎛️ Replicated signaling & control clusters
🗄️ Data stores with auto-failover
⚖️ Quorum rules (N/2+1) to prevent split-brain states

8/ Takeaways...

👉An infrastructure that can't shrink safely isn't truly elastic—it's just an expensive fixed deployment
👉True cloud optimization requires smart state handling

🧵 THREAD: Scaling up is easy. The real nightmare in WebRTC is scaling down 📉

Cloud autoscaling promises zero-waste elasticity. Need servers? Spin them up✅

But for video conferencing, "turning it off" can instantly murder dozens of live user calls mid-sentence 😡

Why?👇

7/

🔹DigitalOcean: Since DO lacks native auto-scaling groups, OpenVidu uses DO Functions as an external control plane to monitor load, flag droplets, and securely drain traffic.

🧵5 React video call platforms in 2026: Is SaaS still the right choice? 💸

💡False Assumption: SaaS = Fast, Self-Hosted = Complex

In 2026 self-hosted solutions can be deployed in minutes

Real choice is financial and operational

6/ 5️⃣ OpenVidu Meet 🚀

Open-source, embed-first platform built on top of LiveKit.

💪 Strengths: Super fast integration via a Web Component, deployable on any cloud, highly predictable core-based pricing

⚠️ Trade-offs: Self-hosting brings more operational management
