Building Cloudflare TV from scratch

Cloudflare has launched a new streaming platform called Cloudflare TV, inspired by 90s television shows that shared exciting developments in computing. The platform aims to provide continuous programming with easy guest participation, similar to joining a Zoom call. It is built using various technologies such as NGINX for ingesting RTMP feeds and creating HLS/DASH segments, Contentful for scheduling content, Brave for virtual rooms, and Workers for connecting these systems together. The platform currently features live streaming of Zoom calls and pre-recorded content, with plans to add closed-caption support, enable viewer participation, and expand to platforms like Apple TV and Roku in the future.
