## What it is
Superstreamer is a self-hostable, scalable video streaming platform that covers the full pipeline from transcoding and HLS packaging to dynamic playlist stitching and playback. It exposes simple APIs for transcoding media into multi-quality HLS CMAF tracks, writing playlists to S3, and inserting bumpers or ads via HLS interstitials.

## Use cases
- transcode videos into multiple quality tracks for streaming
- package video as HLS CMAF and upload to S3
- insert bumpers or ads into HLS streams with interstitials
- schedule VAST or VMAP ad breaks in video playback
- build a custom video player UI on top of HLS.js
- self-host a video-on-demand streaming backend

## When to choose
- you need an end-to-end self-hosted video streaming pipeline from ingest to playback
- you want API-driven transcoding and HLS packaging with sane defaults
- you need server-side ad insertion or dynamic HLS playlist stitching
- you're a developer building a player UI and want a simplified HLS.js facade

## When to avoid
- you need live low-latency streaming rather than VOD workflows
- you want a fully managed hosted video platform without self-hosting overhead
- you only need simple video playback without transcoding or stitching
- you require DRM or advanced enterprise video security features
