Very cool job. However if you ever need something like this yourself and a non-OSS solution is OK then there are plenty of Wowza CDNs where you can just set up VLC to stream to RTMP/RTSP which can be repeated world-wide and handle multiple thousands of viewers.

Surprisingly enough, or not if you think about it for a bit, houses of worship are currently the main target market for these solutions.

AWS used this as the example for one of its first CloudFormation templates and has a nice tutorial for it at [1] and if you want to build one yourself Ian Beyer has some nice write-ups on the topic [2].

It's awesome that the Go devroom was the most-watched stream!
