## Overview
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/8230f902-b037-424f-a337-a3828dac6a3c
HydraSRT is an open-source, high-performance alternative to the **Haivision SRT Gateway**. It is designed to provide a scalable and flexible solution for **Secure Reliable Transport (SRT)** video routing, with support for multiple streaming protocols.
## Motivation
HydraSRT aims to deliver a robust and adaptable solution for video routing, offering a scalable alternative to proprietary systems. It supports multiple streaming protocols, ensuring flexibility and high performance.
## Architecture
HydraSRT is structured into **three core layers**, each designed for efficiency, reliability, and modularity:
### **1. Management & Control Layer (Elixir)**
- **Manages streaming pipelines** and dynamic route configurations.
- **Exposes a REST API** for frontend interaction.
- **Uses [Khepri](https://rabbitmq.github.io/khepri/)** as a **persistent tree-based key-value store** for system state and configurations.
#### Cluster Mode
Coming soon...
### **2. Streaming & Processing Layer (Isolated C + GStreamer)**
- **Memory safety & stability** – The C-based application runs as a separate, isolated process, ensuring that memory leaks do not affect the Elixir control layer. Elixir can monitor for issues and terminate pipelines if necessary to maintain system stability.
- **High-performance video processing** via **GStreamer**.
- **Secure interprocess communication** with the Elixir layer.
### **3. User Interface Layer (Vite + React + Ant Design)**
- **Communicates with the backend via REST API** for real-time control.
- **Provides a dashboard and route management tools** for users to interact with the system.
- **Supports user authentication and session management** to ensure secure access.
- **Displays route status and allows for route configuration** through a user-friendly interface.

## Development
To run HydraSRT locally, you'll need to start both the Elixir backend and the web UI.
### Backend
```bash
# Start the Elixir node
make dev
```
### Frontend
```bash
# Start the web UI
cd web_app && yarn dev
```
