Efficient Live Stream Storage with LightUp.Cloud: Secure On-Premises Solutions for Small and Medium Enterprises

In the digital age, professionals such as architects, photographers, journalists, and private healthcare practitioners increasingly rely on live streaming to deliver real-time content, collaborate with global teams, and engage with audiences. Storing live stream data efficiently and securely poses a significant challenge, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) constrained by the high costs and complexities of traditional cloud storage. LightUp.Cloud offers a robust, cost-effective solution, enabling SMEs to store live stream data on-premises using affordable hardware and an open protocol API, ensuring unparalleled control, security, and performance.

Streamlined Live Stream Storage with LightUp.Cloud

LightUp.Cloud is designed to handle diverse data types, including live streams in HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) format. By integrating with tools like FFmpeg, users can seamlessly download live streams and upload them to LightUp.Cloud’s on-premises storage infrastructure. This approach leverages the declining costs of solid-state drives (SSDs) and hard disk drives (HDDs), enabling SMEs to store vast amounts of live stream data at a fraction of the cost of traditional cloud services—potentially achieving savings of up to five times.

Powerful API for Live Stream Uploads

LightUp.Cloud’s API, specifically the POST /riak/upload/[:bucket_id] endpoint, provides a streamlined mechanism for uploading live stream data. Built on the resilient Erlang programming language, this API ensures high performance and reliability. Key features include:

Automatic Bucket Creation: If a specified bucket does not exist, the API creates it automatically, simplifying setup.
Metadata Attachment: Files are enriched with metadata, enhancing organization and searchability.
Full-Text Search Indexing: Updates cached file lists and full-text search indices for rapid retrieval.
Chunked Uploads for Large Files: For files exceeding the FILE_UPLOAD_CHUNK_SIZE , the API supports multipart uploads, returning an upload ID for subsequent parts.
Efficient Storage Management: Files are split into parts stored under a configurable RIAK_REAL_OBJECT_PREFIX , optimizing operations like copy, move, rename, delete, and undelete.

The API requires authentication, ensuring secure access, and delivers clear response codes: 200 OK for successful uploads, 206 Partial Content for existing parts, and error codes like 401 Unauthorized or 429 Too Many Requests for precise troubleshooting.
