Serverless Live Streaming with Cloudflare Stream
Stream Live is an open beta of an end-to-end scalable live-streaming platform by Cloudflare that allows developers to focus on growing their live video apps without worrying about the codebase. It supports millions of concurrent broadcasters and users, works with popular broadcasting software, and automatically records, optimizes, and delivers videos using the Stream player. The built-in player and access control features allow for granular control over user experience and enable limiting who can view live videos. Instant recordings are available as soon as a live broadcast ends. Stream Live scales instantly with use case and uses Cloudflare's global network to ensure reliability and low latency. It offers simple, predictable pricing based on video storage capacity and duration of video viewed, without hidden costs for ingesting the live stream or additional quality levels. For high-volume users, volume pricing is available upon request.
