This conference talk from Lambda Days 2024 explores how media streaming can be implemented in functional programming languages, specifically through the Membrane framework in Elixir. Discover the rationale behind developing a media streaming solution in a functional language when this domain is traditionally associated with low-level, imperative programming. Learn about the multimedia world fundamentals before diving into the benefits and challenges of bringing media streaming capabilities to Elixir and functional programming paradigms. Follow Mateusz Front's 21-minute presentation as he shares practical insights from leading the development of the Membrane framework.
