LiveKitWhat it is, and why it's in our toolbox
Open WebRTC infrastructure: SFU rooms, simulcast, recording egress and an agents framework for AI voice.
Why Chimbuk uses it
Our default 'not-weeks-of-pain' layer for multi-party streams; the Livly demo's 400ms glass-to-glass budget is measured against LiveKit-class media servers.
How we work with it
The working rule on every engagement: a technology stays only while it pays rent — in developer speed, runtime performance, hosting cost or hiring availability for your future team. LiveKit passed that test; the written case for it (and its honest trade-offs) goes into your project's decision log, so nobody has to reverse-engineer the reasoning after handover.
In this studio today
You can see livekit doing real work on this very site and across the Concept Lab demos — including the CSS-rendered device screens on /concepts — and, where it concerns shipped product, in the verified work ledger under our own Google Play label.
