## What it is
Livego is a simple, high-performance live video streaming server written in pure Go. It accepts RTMP pushes and serves playback over RTMP, HTTP-FLV, and HLS protocols.

## Use cases
- self-host a live streaming server
- serve hls streams from an rtmp push
- run a lightweight rtmp media server in docker
- broadcast live video with ffmpeg to a web player
- convert rtmp input to http-flv playback

## When to choose
- you need a simple, dependency-free live streaming server
- you want a single Go binary or Docker container for RTMP-to-HLS/FLV delivery
- you need cross-platform deployment without complex configuration

## When to avoid
- you need recording, transcoding, or adaptive bitrate features
- you require authentication, clustering, or large-scale CDN integration
- you need WebRTC low-latency playback

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
- function: http-server, streaming, video-processing
- domain: media, self-hosted, web-development
- platform: windows, go, cross-platform, self-hosted
