## What it is
Monibuca is a modular, extensible, high-performance streaming media server framework written in Go, supporting protocols like RTMP, RTSP, HLS, HTTP-FLV, WebRTC, SRT, and WebTransport. It uses a plugin architecture for on-demand loading of features such as recording, transcoding, screenshots, clustering, and stream authentication, with low-latency lock-free forwarding.

## Use cases
- build a self-hosted live streaming server
- stream RTMP to HLS and WebRTC viewers
- ingest RTSP streams from IP cameras
- record live streams to MP4
- run a low-latency WebRTC media server
- set up a GB28181 video surveillance platform
- transcode and relay streams across protocols
- deploy a clustered streaming backend in Go

## When to choose
- you need a Go-based, plugin-extensible streaming server with many protocol options
- you want sub-second latency live streaming with WebRTC or HTTP-FLV
- you need recording, time-shift playback, or transcoding in one deployable server
- you want a self-hosted alternative to commercial media servers with cluster support

## When to avoid
- you need a simple one-off ffmpeg command rather than a running media server
- you require a permissively licensed product for closed-source distribution (AGPL-3.0 applies to v5)
- you only need client-side playback rather than server-side streaming
- you want the Rust v6 commercial engine, which is a separate closed-source product
