I'm looking to optimize RTMP ingestion for sub-second latency. What are the best configurations and server setups for handling large-scale RTMP streams efficiently?

Getting reliable RTMP ingest in the cloud used to mean rolling your own NGINX‑RTMP build—great in theory, messy in practice. I switched to a managed instance from rtmp server and suddenly my DevOps load dropped. TLS certs, transcoding, and auto‑scaling are handled out of the box. The REST API even lets you spin up temporary stream keys for one‑off events, which makes guest broadcasts much easier to police against stream hijacks.

I get what you mean about keeping things simple. I was in the same spot with tracking my ecommerce conversions. Was losing data left and right with iOS blocking everything. Found a solution where you can see CAPI setup without all the technical headaches. It basically sends your sales data directly to Facebook and Google so nothing gets missed. Way easier than building custom solutions and it just works automatically once it's running. Now my ad campaigns actually optimize properly instead of flying blind
