Red5 Pro's XDN Delivers Live Video at Under 400ms, Then Hands It Off to CDNs for On-Demand

A Cloudstorage plugin then copies live content to AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, or DigitalOcean Spaces, letting providers serve VOD through CDNs like Fastly without building separate silos.

There's no getting around the fact that the video streaming market can no longer operate with exclusive reliance on HTTP-based streaming over CDNs.
