Stage 5: Aggregated scalability (March 2024 - Currently)
Roadmap
All dates are estimated and can suffer of variations depending of the found difficulties, development speed, or due to having other personal or professional priorities. If you are interested on any of the future roadmap topics, contact us to discuss a sponsorship or commercial services.
Stage 6: Mediasoup as a Service (April - September 2024)
Notify about actual servers usage so it’s possible to spin-up more instances on demand, as a previous step to start offering Remote Mediasoup instances on the cloud.
Stage 7: Mafalda Monitor: network monitorization (October 2024 - January 2025)
Tool to monitor in real time the usage and capacity of all servers and clients
in the network: CPU usage of Workers, number of Routers and Transports…
Stage 8: Mafalda Swarm: P2P decentralized scaling (February - July 2025)
Use of a Distributed Hash Table to register the Mafalda instances and send
requests directly between them, without a central controller. Also use it to
search for original Producers of a stream and ask for them to connect.
