When developing a live APP, the core elements and basic elements are stability. Generally, major service providers provide demos, and they can be tested for free. The test can preliminarily evaluate the stability to see how smooth it is and whether it is very stuck. Frequently, how is the delay effect, how is the video clarity, how is the performance in weak network conditions. This is the most basic requirement for video. Next, we need to see if the technology at the operational level is complete. For example, in the pan-entertainment live broadcast, whether there is a beauty function, whether the SDK supports the screenshot function, etc.
In terms of architecture, if you want to develop an operator-level live broadcast APP, you need to adopt a distributed architecture, including not only the distributed deployment of each functional module but also the distributed deployment of various application servers, so as to achieve better service redundancy backup. , the robustness and fault tolerance of the platform, the effective control of operating costs, and the improvement of user experience.
The video cloud SaaS service provided by TOVP includes the core functional modules required for the production of video platforms, such as beauty cameras, transcoding, content management systems, Multi DRM, payment systems, and other modules site layers
It is implemented through “nginx”. By modifying Nginx. conf, multiple web backends can be set. When the web backend encounters a bottleneck, as long as the number of servers is increased, the deployment of new web services is added, and a new web backend is configured in the Nginx configuration, the performance of the site layer can be expanded to achieve theoretically infinitely high concurrency.
service layer
The horizontal expansion of the service layer is realized through the “service connection pool”. When the service encounters a bottleneck, as long as the number of servers is increased, the new service deployment is added, and a new downstream service connection is established at the RPC client, the performance of the service layer can be expanded and theoretically infinitely high concurrency can be achieved.
Apply for third-party services
When the live broadcast platform is built and deployed, the realization of many basic functions requires third-party service interfaces to ensure the stable operation of the live broadcast platform in the later stage. Developers will reserve third-party interfaces during development, such as: login sharing, message push, private messaging, positioning, payment, storage and distribution services, etc. Investors can apply for the corresponding third-party service account according to actual needs, and inform the account and secret key. Software developers can assist with access. TOVP’s live streaming solutions offer all major open APIs and third-party integrations.
Unless you have special needs, you will choose to build your own streaming media server. Third-party CDN service providers have a large number of node servers, which can quickly realize the transmission and distribution of live broadcast content and greatly enhance the live broadcast experience.
Program Test
The process of packaging a program into an APP installation package is called packaging. Now, most live broadcast software exists in the form of the mobile app, and almost all live broadcast software is downloaded through the mobile app. The common Android mobile phone APP installation package format is .apk, and the Apple mobile phone installation package is .ipa. Before the application is not on the shelves, we need to continuously test the program. At this time, we can download it with the help of the distribution platform, and continuously test and fix the bug.
After the test BIG repair is completed, the program of developing the live broadcast APP will come to an end, and it can be put into operation online. If there are any problems in the operation in the later stage, it will be continuously optimized and improved.
