Key security considerations on TURN🧵 Ever built a WebRTC demo that worked perfectly locally, only to watch it crash and burn in production?📉 The culprit is usually the TURN layer Let’s talk about why TURN is the silent, essential backbone of production-ready WebRTC in 2026👇

7/8 Building this infrastructure yourself is a massive headache💥 That’s why @OpenVidu built a different architecture. Instead of treating TURN as an isolated server "nobody wants to touch," they embed a hardened Pion TURN server directly into every single Media Node. 🧠

8/8 OpenVidu: 🔐Uses 5-minute ephemeral tokens, and locks down security by default. 📈TURN auto-scales with your cluster 🌐Automatically handles TLS via Caddy (no manual renewals), Stop wrestling with firewalls and focus on your app 🚀 openvidu.io/blog/2026/06/09/…

🧵 The Architecture of Scale: Video Conferencing Edition Launch week is great until a customer schedules a company-wide call Hundreds join CPU spikes, bandwidth saturates, and video freezes Why did it fail? Real-time media scales very differently from traditional web apps👇

6/ Phase 3: High Availability (The Control Plane) 🛡️ 100 media nodes won't save you if your orchestrator is a single point of failure You need: 🎛️ Replicated signaling & control clusters 🗄️ Data stores with auto-failover ⚖️ Quorum rules (N/2 1) to prevent split-brain states

7/ Scale by design, not by accident Don't wait for an incident to fix your architecture At @OpenVidu, we’ve battle-tested this roadmap so you don't have to build it from scratch—get HA on AWS, GCP, Azure, DO, and OCI. Read the full deep dive here 👉 openvidu.io/blog/2026/06/02/…

🧵 THREAD: Scaling up is easy. The real nightmare in WebRTC is scaling down 📉 Cloud autoscaling promises zero-waste elasticity. Need servers? Spin them up✅ But for video conferencing, "turning it off" can instantly murder dozens of live user calls mid-sentence 😡 Why?👇

7/ 🔹DigitalOcean: Since DO lacks native auto-scaling groups, OpenVidu uses DO Functions as an external control plane to monitor load, flag droplets, and securely drain traffic.

8/ Takeaways... 👉An infrastructure that can't shrink safely isn't truly elastic—it's just an expensive fixed deployment 👉True cloud optimization requires smart state handling Read the deep-dive technical breakdown of our autoscaling architecture: 👉 openvidu.io/blog/2026/05/26/…
