|
|
|
- Supports OpenJ9
|
|
|
|
|
- Each running instance should configure their own proxy, thus allowing multi-gigabit content delivery.

# Proxy
|
2021-02-07 15:38:23 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Uses Golang
|
|
|
|
|
- Has HTTP/2 support. (HTTP/3 is unstable in the current library)
|
|
|
|
|
- Low memory footprint and high throughput.
|
|
|
|
|
- Can be used to replace the proxy in various other frontends.

# Server-Side Caching
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Caching is done at a Reverse-Proxy/CDN level to reduce the load to the backend. This also makes it more scalable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# LBRY
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-02-07 15:38:23 +00:00
|
|
|
LBRY streams are automatically added to stream content via LBRY if the same video is available there.
