## How is Piped's architecture?
|
2021-02-06 15:59:00 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Piped has 3 components:
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
- [A frontend in VueJS](https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped)
|
2023-08-04 19:22:02 +00:00
|
|
|
- [A backend in Java](https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped-Backend) which uses [NewPipeExtractor](https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor)
|
|
|
|
|
- [A proxy in Rust](https://github.com/FireMasterK/piped-proxy)

## Backend
|
2021-02-07 15:38:23 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2023-08-04 19:22:02 +00:00
|
|
|
- Uses Java 17
|
|
|
|
|
- Uses a JNI wrapper around [Reqwest](https://github.com/seanmonstar/reqwest), a Rust HTTP client.
|
|
|
|
|
- Uses ActiveJ to achieve maximum performance. Which is [really fast](https://web-frameworks-benchmark.netlify.app/result)
|
2021-02-07 15:38:23 +00:00
|
|
|
- Supports OpenJ9
|
|
|
|
|
- Each running instance should configure their own proxy, thus allowing multi-gigabit content delivery.
|
|
|
|
|
- Uses ~70-130 MB of ram. (on OpenJ9)

# 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
|
|
|
|
|
|
2023-08-04 19:22:02 +00:00
|
|
|
LBRY streams are automatically used to stream content via LBRY if the same video is available there.
