Mafalda SFU projects

All Mafalda SFU packages have by design an orthogonal API, making it possible to combine them in a mix-n-match way to create the best fit for your use case. The next diagram shows all the possible combinations:

Mediasoup vertical cluster
Mediasoup vertical server
Mediasoup vertical proxy
Mediasoup
Mediasoup cluster
Mediasoup cluster CLI
Mediasoup proxy
Mediasoup proxy CLI
Mediasoup horizontal
Mediasoup vertical
Remote Mediasoup client
Remote Mediasoup client mock
Remote Mediasoup server
Remote Mediasoup server CLI

Thick lines represent main usage relationships, thin lines are compatible ones but their usage is not promoted. Dotted lines are client-server network connections.

Main projects

  • Mafalda: Mediasoup vertical scalability, allow to have Router objects that by-pass Mediasoup per-Worker limits.
  • Remote Mediasoup server & Remote Mediasoup client: remote control of Mediasoup instances, both of them build on top of ROPE server & ROPE client.

  • Mediasoup-cluster CLI: standalone server using Mediasoup-horizontal to control multiple Remote Mediasoup servers from a single endpoint.

  • Mafalda-swarm: Decentralized horizontal scaling for Mafalda SFU, allow to access streams from multiple entry points without a central management, based on P2P technologies and architecture. Estimated August 2023

Auxiliary packages

  • Remote Mafalda server & Remote Mafalda client: remote control of Mafalda instances.
  • Mediasoup-horizontal: Mediasoup horizontal scalability, allow to use Mediasoup Worker instances located on multiple servers from a single place as if they were local to it.

  • ROPE server & ROPE client: canonical implementations of the Remote Objects, Procedures and Events protocol, that allow remote control of objects located as if they were local, including sync’ed updates of remote state, also when multiple clients are involved.

  • Mafalda-monitor: Mafalda SFU network monitoring tool, allow to control stats and loads of the servers in the network and their connected clients. Estimated December 2023

Mafalda SFU ❤️ Open Source

Mafalda SFU is build on top of multiple Open Source projects, being Mediasoup the most prominent one. In addition to that, during development of Mafalda SFU we have created and published multiple auxiliary Open Source projects and contributed to several others, between dependencies, tools, demos, reporters, forks… You can find a list of all of them at Mafalda SFU Github organization, and at Mafalda SFU NPM organization.
