Scaling to 12k Live Streams

According to Law Ballot Counting for any and all elections in Bulgaria need to be streamed live and archived.

We will Share how we've built a system designed to record, stream and archive 12k polling places with uncertain connectivity, personel and not much experience. The system was designed, implemented, deployed and operated in less than 2 months.

We will cover different points of the process:

• Why it was necessary
• How it was designed and implemented
• Challenges
• Possible developments

Projects that are used in implementing the solution:

• MediaMTX - https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx/
• nginx-rtmp-module - https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module
• Project Source code: https://git.egov.bg/meu/videonabludenie/3-01.03.2023
• Python
• Celery
• A hell of a lot of bash
