Scaling Live Audio: Insights from QUIC and MoQ Relays
Key insights from scaling Tula Spaces for live audio and lessons for engineers.
Initially, scaling Tula Spaces to 100,000 concurrent listeners suggested a need for 100 small VPS boxes. However, testing revealed that only five were necessary. This experience highlights the importance of empirical testing in real-time applications. Engineers developing systems over QUIC should be aware of potential failure modes and the need for precise configurations to avoid performance bottlenecks.
