Realtime Video recording to cloud - No viewers - Server config ?

[Ragesh Antony]

Hi Team,

My usecase is ,

A user will capture a video and live stream it to the server in real time and the server will record and store it in Backblaze or S3 for later playback

Note that , there is no realtime viewers for the streaming video , only it will be recorded for the streamers later usage (and he will download it from backblaze/S3 only) 

The video quality ranges from 720p to 4K (mostly 1080p  ) and mostly streamed from mobile only

So what I am asking is ,

1) for a set of 100 broadcasters /users , what server config and bandwidth I need ?

2 ) Is Free edition is enough ?

It seems that recording and s3 are available in free edition itself. As for the system configuration, it depends on how many simultaneous publishers and how many simultaneous recordings you will be processing. 

A good way to calculate is to stress test a standard instance on aws for example and the extrapolate that value to your estimated traffic to get a close match.

How to record RTMP streams in Ant Media? The internet suggest to use Ffmpeg ? Does it decreases the performance?

Use their API. You don’t need FFmpeg . You cans record to mp4 or hls
