Jitsi Meet

Open-source WebRTC video conferencing platform used at real internet scale (e.g. 8x8's Jitsi-as-a-Service). Genuinely complex to self-host well, requiring several coordinated components for signaling and media routing.

βš™ Full Stack

Prosody (XMPP) for signaling, Jicofo (Java) as conference focus/orchestrator, JVB (Java) for media routing/SFU, and a web frontend β€” each a separate service that must be network-reachable to clients for media.

πŸ“ˆ Scaling Analysis

JVB instances can scale horizontally for media routing at genuine internet scale β€” this is proven in production by 8x8 β€” but that scaling story only works with proper UDP/TURN networking and a JVB pool, which is a materially harder deploy than anything else in this batch.

πŸš€ Running on Nexlayer

Needs prosody, jicofo, jvb, and web pods at minimum, with JVB requiring direct UDP reachability that doesn't map cleanly onto typical pod-to-pod DNS; mirror.gcr.io covers the JDK-based images but JVB's need for host networking or NodePort UDP is a real Nexlayer-specific gotcha to solve before deploying.
