    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Delivers a next-generation live media protocol providing real-time latency at massive scale using QUIC transport.
    • Enables WebRTC-like low latency without WebRTC constraints, supporting cross-region clustering and full application control.
    • Use for building scalable live streaming platforms with ultra-low latency and partial reliability over QUIC.
    • Use for integrating AI-powered on-device features like caption generation and voice activity detection in live media apps.
    • Use for creating multi-language media pipelines with Rust and TypeScript libraries supporting browsers and servers.

    From the README

    Media over QUIC (MoQ) is a next-generation live media protocol that provides real-time latency at massive scale. Built using modern web technologies, MoQ delivers WebRTC-like latency without the constraints of WebRTC. The core networking is delegated to a QUIC library but the rest is in application-space, giving you full control over your media pipeline.

    Note: This project is a fork of the IETF MoQ specification. The focus is narrower, focusing on simplicity and deployability.

    This repository is split into multiple binaries and libraries across different languages. It can get overwhelming, so there's an included demo with some examples.

    Note: this demo uses an insecure HTTP fetch intended for local development only. In production, you'll need a proper domain and a matching TLS certificate via LetsEncrypt or similar.

    Then visit https://localhost:8080 to see the demo. Note that this uses an insecure HTTP fetch for local development only; in production you'll need a proper domain + TLS certificate.

    TIP: If you've installed nix-direnv, then only just dev is required.
