## What it is
An open-source implementation of Media over QUIC (MoQ), a next-generation live media protocol delivering WebRTC-like real-time latency at massive scale using QUIC, WebTransport, and WebCodecs. It provides Rust and TypeScript libraries plus a self-hostable relay server, with integrations for GStreamer, OBS, and FFmpeg.

## Use cases
- stream live video with sub-second latency to millions of viewers
- replace WebRTC, HLS/DASH, and RTMP for live broadcasting
- build a video conferencing app with dynamic peer discovery
- teleoperate robots with real-time telemetry streams
- self-host a low-latency live streaming CDN
- contribute live media from OBS or GStreamer to a scalable origin
- stream any live data, not just media, like text chat or game state

## When to choose
- you need real-time live streaming latency without WebRTC's scaling constraints
- you want massive fan-out via CDN or self-hosted relays
- you're building on modern web APIs like WebTransport and WebCodecs
- you need a generic protocol for live data beyond just media
- you want to experiment with the emerging IETF moq-transport standard

## When to avoid
- you need a fully stable, standardized protocol for production-critical systems (APIs and protocol are still evolving)
- you only need simple on-demand video hosting or VOD playback
- you require broad legacy device support without HLS/CMAF fallback work
- your stack cannot use QUIC or WebTransport
