Building A Scalable Jibri Auto-Recording And Secure Streaming Solution For Tridev Computech Pvt Ltd

Introduction

In today’s fast-paced digital communication landscape, seamless video conferencing solutions are essential. Tridev Computech Pvt Ltd recognized the need to scale their Jitsi Meet setup with advanced recording automation and secure infrastructure to support their growing user base. Our collaboration focused on integrating an auto-scalable Jibri architecture on AWS, customizing the user experience, and ensuring a secure, streamlined workflow for recording and streaming.

The Challenge

Tridev Computech faced challenges related to scaling their Jibri servers to handle increased concurrent conference recordings without compromising performance. Additionally, the existing Jitsi Meet interface included toolbar features that were unnecessary for their workflow, and security concerns around recording servers needed to be addressed. They also required automation to reduce manual intervention in recording processes and guidance on capturing geographic data for middleware integration.

Our Approach

We adopted a holistic and technically rigorous approach to meet Tridev Computech’s requirements, prioritizing scalability, security, and user experience. Our solution included deploying an auto-scaling Jibri infrastructure on AWS, modifying the Jitsi Meet UI for feature control, and developing a custom plugin to automate recordings. Security measures were designed specifically for hardening the Jibri environment, while our team also provided strategic consulting to enable geographic data capture via middleware.

1. Jibri Auto-Scaling on AWS: Set up Jibri servers with auto-scaling capabilities to dynamically manage load based on concurrent recording demands, ensuring uninterrupted service during peak usage.
2. Jibri Integration: Seamlessly integrated the Jibri auto-scaling setup with the existing Jitsi Meet deployment to maintain consistency and reliability.
3. UI Customization: Customized the Jitsi Meet interface by hiding specific toolbar items such as the ‘Change Background’ option, streamlining the user experience and reducing distractions.
4. Auto Recording Plugin Development: Crafted a bespoke plugin that enables automated recording functionality, reducing manual triggers and improving workflow efficiency.
5. Security Enhancements: Implemented rigorous security protocols and configurations on the Jibri servers to protect recording data and prevent unauthorized access.
6. Middleware Guidance: Provided detailed technical guidance to Tridev’s team for building middleware capable of capturing geographic information for analytics and compliance purposes.

The Result

Our solution empowered Tridev Computech Pvt Ltd with a robust, scalable, and secure Jitsi Meet environment capable of handling extensive video conferencing workloads efficiently. The auto-scaling Jibri setup minimized downtime during heavy usage, while the custom plugin and UI enhancements refined the overall user experience. Enhanced security and middleware integration support elevated the platform’s professionalism and operational control, preparing Tridev Computech to meet future demands with confidence.
