Janus Gateway
Janus Gateway is an open-source WebRTC server designed for building real-time communication applications, such as video conferencing, live streaming, and VoIP. It acts as a media server that handles WebRTC peer connections, media routing, and plugin-based extensibility for various use cases. It is lightweight, modular, and supports multiple protocols like WebRTC, RTP, and RTSP.
Developers should learn Janus Gateway when building scalable, real-time communication applications that require low-latency audio/video streaming, such as video conferencing tools, live broadcasting platforms, or IoT device streaming. It is particularly useful for projects needing custom media processing, recording, or integration with other protocols beyond WebRTC, as its plugin architecture allows for flexible extensions.
