What is WebRTC and How to Avoid its 3 Deadliest Pitfalls

Today, I’ll explain what is WebRTC, share the story of our Web RTC application and tell you how to avoid the three mistakes that can easily destroy your video chat project:

  1. Pitfall 1: Not understanding the WebRTC technology
  2. Pitfall 2: Choosing the wrong library
  3. Pitfall 3: Using public STUN/TURN servers
  4. Conclusions

The story starts early February 2018.

On a cold rainy evening, a man appeared in front of our office. He was dressed in a gray trench coat and a rain-soaked fedora. The man’s name was [Redacted]. As we invited him to take shelter in the warmth of our server room, he made us an offer we couldn’t refuse.

We can’t, of course, tell you the exact nature of that offer. You see, he wanted us to implement a [Redacted] feature in his [Redacted] application. Well, you can think of it as a real-time video-chat. For spies.
