Media streaming in the functional world

OBJECTIVES

- What media streaming is - How media streaming ecosystem look like - What Membrane is and how to use it - How we applied the functional paradigm to media streaming - Elixir's features and limitations

AUDIENCE

Anyone interested in learning about multimedia

DESCRIPTION

Media streaming is usually associated with low-level, imperative languages. Yet, through the last few years, I've been leading the development of Membrane - the media streaming framework in Elixir. In this talk, I'll share the rationale behind our approach and how it turned out in practice. After quickly introducing you to the multimedia world, I'll discuss the benefits and challenges of bringing that world to Elixir and functional programming in general.
