Ant Media Server is a scalable open-source media server for ultra-low latency live streaming, built around WebRTC (~0.5s latency) with support for SRT, RTMP, RTSP, HLS, LL-HLS, and CMAF. It provides adaptive bitrate, transcoding, recording, REST APIs, and SDKs for web, iOS, Android, Flutter, React Native, and Unity, deployable on-premise or in the cloud.

Use cases

run a low-latency live streaming server with sub-second WebRTC latency
ingest RTMP or SRT streams and deliver HLS/WebRTC to viewers
build a live shopping, auction, or telehealth video app
stream IP cameras (RTSP/ONVIF) to browsers with low latency
transcode live streams to adaptive bitrate ladders
record live broadcasts and serve on-demand video
scale live streaming to millions of viewers with clustered origin-edge deployment

When to choose

you need sub-second latency interactive streaming (WebRTC) at scale
you need multi-protocol ingest and delivery (RTMP, SRT, RTSP, HLS, CMAF, WHIP/WHEP) in one server
you want self-hosted or cloud-deployable streaming with auto-scaling and REST APIs plus mobile/web SDKs

When to avoid

you only need simple VOD file hosting or static video delivery via a CDN
you want a fully free open-source solution with enterprise features like clustering and GPU transcoding (those require a paid license)
your stack is not Java/Linux-friendly or you need a lightweight embedded media pipeline
