Discovering Amazon Kinesis video streams WebRTC

Kinesis video streams with WebRTC (KVS WebRTC) is a fully managed service that is a standards-based implementation of the web real-time communication (WebRTC) standard. KVS WebRTC provides two-way low-latency live media streaming, enabling the development of video and voice applications.

It is not like any of the streaming technologies discussed in this book. Instead of using producers to send messages to a stream and then using consumers to retrieve them, it creates a peer-to-peer connection that allows you to directly send data from one system to another. This allows applications to get sub-second video playback end to end.

KVS WebRTC provides four core capabilities:

1. Signaling, which allows clients to exchange connection metadata.
2. Peer-to-peer connections are then established using that connection metadata.
3. Media can then be streamed between the clients over the low-latency peer-to-peer connection.
4. End...
