Wowza vs Evostream for react native live video streaming app


I'm working on developing a live video streaming mobile app like Bigo Live. I will be using react native for building the mobile app.

I'm trying to choose a media server Evostream or wowza for this. My requirement is video streaming with 20 concurrent broadcasters with 200 viewers for each broadcaster.

My comparision points are integration with react native, API, documentation, features, performance, quality etc. We would like the solution to be vertically scalable as horizontal scaling requires more licenses.

If you have experience with any of the above media servers, please let me know your thoughts!

Thanks,
Sash

  • I'm using React Native Wowza right now streaming to/from a Amazon EC2 M4.XLarge server and while it's a tad tricky to get setup, it can be a really powerful configured correctly. There's also a React Native package available to handle the streaming: https://github.com/medlmobileenterprises/react-native-wowza-gocoder
