Build sophisticated real-time applications with ease.
Summary
LiveKit is an open-source, cloud-native platform designed to simplify the development of real-time communication (RTC) applications. It provides the backend infrastructure and SDKs necessary to build features like video conferencing, live streaming, collaborative whiteboards, and interactive gaming experiences.
By abstracting away the complexities of WebRTC, media servers, and signaling, LiveKit empowers developers to focus on the unique aspects of their application rather than spending time on low-level infrastructure. Its architecture is built for scalability and reliability, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, from small-scale internal tools to large-scale public services.
Whether you're building a next-generation video chat service, an interactive educational platform, or a real-time collaboration tool, LiveKit offers a robust and flexible foundation to accelerate your development process and ensure a high-quality user experience.
