I promised in my last post on the hybrid bridge to cover more details on the inner workings of the hybrid bridge. This post is a part of my series on the next-generation multi stream video architecture. You may get more out of this post if you read my last post first, but I have […]
Distributed System Architectural Debt: protocol, layering, and flow debt
This post is the second post on distributed system architectural debt. If you haven’t read the first post, I recommend that you read about why you acquire architectural debt and how feature-driven architecture development is a main contributor. I also there cover “abstraction debt”, the first of four types of architectural debt I cover in […]
Will switched conferences rule the world and replace transcoded conferences? Say hello to the hybrid bridge!
My last post on SVC and related technologies packed a lot of complex concepts into a fairly short post. If you didn’t quite follow, don’t worry, here is a quick summary of the conclusions: <summary>Video streams come in many different resolutions and qualities depending on the type of video endpoint or client you have, and […]
Distributed System Architectural Debt: The mother of all debts! And it’s feeded by features…
In my previous post, I asked the question “Can you get 4,000+ engineers to work together?” The answer is, in the traditional “together sense”, an obvious no! However, just like ants are building an ant hill, not by talking to each other, but by each ant following a set of rules or behaviours specific to […]
Can you get 4,000+ engineers to work together?
I still have one or two posts I want to do on a multistream-enabled, scalable video architecture, but I have for some time also wanted to write a series on the technical scale challenges in a large, distributed engineering organisation. The fundamental problem is that the classic command and control approach with centralised planning, coordination, […]
