I need a fully-functional platform that can stream our live events directly to our customers without relying on third-party services. Viewers should be able to visit the site (or companion mobile app if that proves more efficient), log in, and watch the event in real time with smooth playback and no noticeable latency. Core expectations • A front-end interface where customers can easily access the live stream on any modern browser and common mobile devices. • A back-end that ingests our live video feed, transcodes it to adaptive bit-rate qualities (HLS/DASH or a comparable protocol), and serves it securely. • Basic admin tools so my team can schedule an event, upload a thumbnail or description, and monitor concurrent viewers as the stream runs. • User authentication that keeps the stream private to our audience. Timeline Completion is needed ASAP, so a clear, phased schedule—prototype, beta test, and final launch—will be important. What to send Please respond with a detailed project proposal that outlines the tech stack you recommend (e.g., AWS Media Services, Wowza, or any open-source alternative), your approach to scaling for peak traffic, and the milestones you would set to reach a production release quickly. I’m ready to move forward as soon as I see a plan that shows you can deliver a reliable, professional live-event experience.
