Add Live Streaming to Your Application (Without Being a Video Expert!)

Live streaming enables impactful community engagement through unpredictable, dynamic, and interactive experiences. However, building reliable, low-latency streaming infrastructure with global scale poses complex challenges. Amazon Interactive Video Service (IVS) aims to simplify adding live video to your application by providing a fully-managed service built on the same network and infrastructure that powers Twitch.

In this session, I’ll introduce you to Amazon IVS and show you how it can be used to create low latency streaming channels for your users that can deliver video with around 2-5 seconds of latency. I’ll also teach you how to create collaborative streaming experiences with Amazon IVS real-time streaming where latency is as low as 250ms. There’s no need to be a video expert to unleash the power of live streaming in your application. You won’t have to think about transcoding, storage, edge delivery - or any of the many challenges that come with building a low latency global network capable of delivering high quality video around the world. As a developer, you should focus on user experience - not building and maintaining the infrastructure that enables it

I’m a developer who advocates and evangelizes about interactive video streaming at Twitch. I’ve been writing code since 2004 and I’m passionate about technology, code, and helping developers learn new things. As part of my role as a Developer Advocate, I write demos to show other developers how to use certain languages, frameworks, and technologies to solve the problems that they face every day. I have a background in writing and a love for theater, so I’m extra fortunate to have found a role that lets me use those skills and passions as part of my everyday routine. I’m married to my best friend and we live in the North Georgia mountains with our 2 kids, 8 chickens, 2 dogs, and a cat. When I’m not working, I love to cook, hike, travel, play video games and tinker with electronics and microcontrollers.
