iStream rebuilds a production-grade live-streaming stack from primitives, no managed streaming services anywhere in the pipeline.
RTMP ingest → adaptive-bitrate FFmpeg streaming → HLS delivery for live, segment-level transcoded uploads to Cloudflare R2 for VOD. The whole pipeline runs behind a Dockerode-managed worker pool that autoscales transcoding capacity up and down with live load, coordinated through redis-backed lease state so dead/abandoned streams get reclaimed without manual intervention.
Beyond media: real-time chat over namespaced Socket.IO (sidebar, notify, dm, group, live), a razorpay integration for superchats, an isolated notification service with per-user pub/sub fan-out, and a reconciliation worker that cleans up expired payments.
