Has anybody compared MediaSoup with Kurento? https://www.kurento.org/
2 comments

The team behind kurento got hired by twilio some years ago. Now it's basically dead with some very minimal maintenance being done.
I was asking about differences in the features they support, and results in real life experiences.

Also, I don't agree with Kurento being dead (off topic, but hey). It is still being maintained and works perfectly well for modern applications.

Neither is available in Debian repos.
mediasoup is not an application, is a Node.js library. It's yet nother NPM dependency in your Node.js application. No reason to have a DEB package.
Fair point, but there are standard ways to package npm deps in Debian: https://packages.debian.org/buster-backports/npm2deb

For restricted environments limited to things you can get from standard repos this is the only way to get NPM deps.

Yep, I know. However the effort required to make and maintain DEB/RPM packages for different architectures (mediasoup has a C++ component) is huge.
