Configuring infrastructure for a live streaming platform means solving for four things: ingest bandwidth, transcode capacity, egress delivery, and the control plane that ties them together. Here’s how to size and connect each layer. 1. Size the workload first a. Bandwidth and network capacity Estimate peak concurrent viewers and their geographic distribution. Calculate egress: viewers […]
Securing APIs matters because they’re often the gateway to sensitive data and functionality. Here are the practices that actually work: 1. Use strong authentication and authorization Authentication: Require API consumers to authenticate using secure methods such as OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, or API keys.
