I don’t know. Haven’t seen anyone using it seriously in production and happy (that being said, people usually come to me with their problems).

Yap. There isn’t something that I can easily suggest. Look at simple-peer (https://github.com/feross/simple-peer). It is well maintained.

There’s also the codelab I did with Philipp, which provides the basic understanding of the pitfalls (https://webrtccourse.com/course/webrtc-codelab/).

I would love to know what the alternatives are… the message I got from your post is that there really aren’t any/many. I would be OK e.g. handling the signaling using Firebase, but there seem to be many pitfalls in the WebRTC code in terms of error-checking/fallback/etc. It would be wonderful if someone would develop a lightweight, signaling-agnostic library that would implement WebRTC best practices and let folks implement whatever signaling protocol they want.

Look closely at the insights tab on github. It will tell you a lot of things about the activity levels of this project and enable you to compare it to other alternatives.

Noam,

mediasoup is great, but it isn’t a signaling server – it is a media server.

Very easy if you’re using a nodejs webserver, we are able to scale this pretty well

Shuyi,

I’d consider Janus a media server since it processes media and you’d use it only when you want media to pass through the backend (as opposed to going peer-to-peer).

When using Janus, in larger systems (and mostly anything), I’d rather have it communicate with a signaling/application server and not communicate directly with the devices for signaling at all.
