Wrap up for Silicon Valley Code Campfire "Software Architecture"
Event Wrap-Up Summary (11/18/23)
• Software Architecture at SV Code Camp...
Our recent event encountered streaming challenges, despite having two servers in place. The primary server (AT&T) failed after five minutes, and our secondary server (Zito) struggled with bandwidth throughout the event. This was a departure from the smooth operations of our past events.
Key Lessons Learned:
Early Server Activation: Initiate streaming servers at least an hour before the event to ensure stability. Starting them only 10 minutes prior led to panic and instability.
Resolution Adjustment: Stream at 1280P instead of 1080P. This change could halve bandwidth usage and potentially improve presentation quality.
Increased Lag Time: Adding an extra minute of lag to the stream could enhance quality, allowing for better synchronization with live Q&A sessions and overall stream stability.
By implementing these changes, we aim to avoid similar issues in future events and ensure a smoother streaming experience.
