arcly_stream/
lib.rs

1//! **arcly-stream** — an open-extensible, high-performance live-media streaming
2//! kernel.
3//!
4//! The pub/sub core of a streaming server: lock-free, zero-copy frame fan-out to
5//! an arbitrary number of late-joining subscribers, with instant-start GOP
6//! replay, publish/play authorization, live QoS, a pluggable **multi-protocol
7//! ingestion layer** ([`InboundProtocol`]), and a feature-gated pure-Rust media
8//! plane — all free of any config schema, metrics singleton, or HTTP runtime.
9//! You bring the wire protocols and telemetry by implementing small traits; the
10//! kernel owns the hard, hot-path part.
11//!
12//! ```
13//! use arcly_stream::prelude::*;
14//!
15//! let engine = Engine::builder()
16//!     .max_publishers(1000)
17//!     .application(AppSpec::new("live").gop_cache(120)) // instant-start
18//!     .build();
19//! assert_eq!(engine.list_apps().len(), 1);
20//! ```
21//!
22//! # Architecture
23//!
24//! The crate is layered as a small always-on **kernel**, a feature-gated
25//! **media plane**, and **deferred wire protocols** that exist only as traits:
26//!
27//! ```text
28//!   ┌─────────────────────── Core kernel (always on) ───────────────────────┐
29//!   │  Engine · StreamHandle (broadcast fan-out, GOP cache, live QoS)        │
30//!   │  PublishRegistry / PlaybackRegistry / EventBus · Observer · auth ·     │
31//!   │  audit · health · MediaFrame / CodecId · StreamError                   │
32//!   └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
33//!         ▲ implements                              ▲ feature-gated, pure Rust
34//!         │                                         │
35//!   ┌─────┴── Wire protocols & muxers ──┐   ┌───────┴── Media plane ──────────┐
36//!   │ rtmp   RTMP publish/play (ready)  │   │ codec  H.264/H.265/AV1/VP9/VVC  │
37//!   │ rtsp   RTSP pull ingest (ready)   │   │ hls    Packager + segmenter     │
38//!   │ srt    SRT/MPEG-TS ingest (ready) │   │ mpegts MPEG-TS muxer            │
39//!   │ webrtc WHIP/WHEP signaling+RTP    │   │ fmp4   CMAF muxer               │
40//!   │ Transcoder/ClusterRelay (traits)  │   │ record RecordingSink · ingest   │
41//!   └───────────────────────────────────┘   └─────────────────────────────────┘
42//! ```
43//!
44//! The ingest plane ships four operational wire protocols — [`rtmp`](crate::protocol::rtmp)
45//! (publish + play), [`rtsp`](crate::protocol::rtsp) (client-pull from IP cameras
46//! over TCP-interleaved RTP), [`srt`](crate::protocol::srt) (listener + MPEG-TS
47//! demux), and [`webrtc`](crate::protocol::webrtc) (WHIP/WHEP signaling and
48//! RTP/RTCP routing over a host-supplied [`DtlsSrtpTransport`](crate::protocol::webrtc::DtlsSrtpTransport))
49//! — alongside the [`MpegTsMuxer`](crate::packager::MpegTsMuxer) and
50//! [`Fmp4Muxer`](crate::packager::Fmp4Muxer) egress muxers. ABR/cluster backends
51//! remain trait contracts a host implements.
52//!
53//! ## Design invariants
54//!
55//! - **Zero-copy fan-out** — frames are `bytes::Bytes`; one publish clones an
56//!   `Arc<MediaFrame>` pointer to every subscriber, never the payload.
57//! - **No locks on the hot path** — the frame bus is a `tokio::broadcast`
58//!   channel; cached CONFIG frames and the GOP head use `ArcSwap` / atomics.
59//! - **No global state** — telemetry ([`Observer`]), authorization
60//!   ([`StreamAuthenticator`]), and audit ([`AuditSink`]) are *injected* traits
61//!   with no-op/permit-all defaults, never singletons. The engine is
62//!   `Send + Sync` and can be instantiated many times per process.
63//! - **Contracts are traits** — protocols depend on [`PublishRegistry`] /
64//!   [`PlaybackRegistry`], not on the concrete [`Engine`], so a host can swap in
65//!   its own bus.
66//! - **Pluggable ingest** — a new wire protocol is one [`InboundProtocol`]
67//!   ([`inbound`]) implementation, registered with
68//!   [`EngineBuilder::protocol`](crate::EngineBuilder::protocol). The engine runs
69//!   any worker that satisfies the trait; the bundled `RtmpHandler` is just the
70//!   first reference implementation.
71//! - **`#![forbid(unsafe_code)]`** — the kernel contains no `unsafe`, enforced
72//!   by the compiler. Documentation completeness (`#![deny(missing_docs)]`) and
73//!   intra-doc link integrity are compiler-enforced too.
74//!
75//! ## Module layout
76//!
77//! | Module        | Responsibility                                                |

80//! | [`identity`]  | `AppName`, `StreamId`, `StreamKey` (cheap `Arc<str>` ids)     |
81//! | [`error`]     | `StreamError` and the crate [`Result`] alias                 |
82//! | [`traits`]    | `MediaSource`, `MediaSink`, `ProtocolHandler`, `StorageBackend`, `HwAccelBackend` |
83//! | [`bus`]       | `StreamHandle` fan-out (GOP cache, live QoS) + registry contracts |
84//! | [`inbound`]   | `InboundProtocol` trait + `IngestContext` / `PublishSession` — the multi-protocol ingestion seam |
85//! | [`engine`]    | `Engine`, `EngineBuilder`, `AppSpec` — composition, run loop, source pump, idle reaper |
86//! | [`auth`]      | `StreamAuthenticator` publish/play authorization (permit-all default) |
87//! | [`observe`]   | `Observer` telemetry hook + `NoopObserver`                   |
88//! | [`audit`]     | `AuditSink` + `AuditPipeline` lifecycle audit trail          |
89//! | [`health`]    | `HealthCheck` / `HealthRegistry` readiness aggregation       |
90//! | [`transcode`] | `Transcoder` / `RenditionSpec` ABR contracts                |
91//! | [`cluster`]   | `ClusterRelay` origin/edge federation contracts             |
92//! | [`testing`]   | In-memory helpers for downstream tests                       |
93//!
94//! ## Cargo features
95//!
96//! | Feature | Effect |
97//! |---|---|
98//! | *(none)* | Pure engine: frame model, bus, traits, auth/audit/health/cluster contracts |
99//! | `codec` | Baseline H.264 NAL/SPS + AAC ADTS parsers ([`codec`]) |
100//! | `codec-h265` / `codec-av1` / `codec-vp9` / `codec-vvc` | Next-gen codec parsers (opt-in, pure Rust) |
101//! | `codecs-all` | Every codec parser at once |
102//! | `storage-fs` | Filesystem [`StorageBackend`] adapter |
103//! | `ingest` | Shared TCP accept loop, keyframe gate, rate limiter, NAL scan |
104//! | `hls` | HLS/LL-HLS packager: `Muxer`/`Packager`, segmenter, playlists ([`packager`]) |
105//! | `mpegts` | Native MPEG-TS `Muxer` (`MpegTsMuxer`) — playable `.ts` segments |
106//! | `fmp4` | Native fragmented-MP4/CMAF `Muxer` ([`Fmp4Muxer`](packager::Fmp4Muxer)) — `ftyp`+`moov` init & `moof`+`mdat` fragments for LL-HLS |
107//! | `rtmp` | Working RTMP publish/play [`ProtocolHandler`](protocol::rtmp::RtmpHandler) |
108//! | `rtsp` | Native RTSP client-pull ingest ([`RtspHandler`](protocol::rtsp::RtspHandler)) — `OPTIONS`/`DESCRIBE`/`SETUP`/`PLAY`/`TEARDOWN`, SDP, TCP-interleaved RTP |
109//! | `srt` | Native SRT listener ingest ([`SrtHandler`](protocol::srt::SrtHandler)) — handshake + MPEG-TS demux (unencrypted) |
110//! | `webrtc` | WHIP/WHEP signaling + RTP/RTCP routing ([`WhipEndpoint`](protocol::webrtc::WhipEndpoint)) over a pluggable `DtlsSrtpTransport` crypto seam |
111//! | `record` | Segment/recording sink over a [`StorageBackend`] ([`record`]) |
112//! | `hls` / `record` | Shared keyframe-boundary [`segment`] timing |
113//! | `metrics` | Prometheus [`Observer`] implementation |
114//! | `auth-token` | Production signed-token [`StreamAuthenticator`] ([`TokenAuthenticator`]) — HMAC-SHA-256, dependency-free |
115//! | `macros` | `#[derive(MediaSink)]`, `#[protocol]` ergonomics |
116//! | `full` | everything |
117//!
118//! Ready-to-use reference implementations ship for the operational traits too:
119//! [`FileAuditSink`] ([`AuditSink`] → file),
120//! [`StandardTelemetry`] (structured-logging [`Observer`]), and the
121//! `metrics`-gated [`PrometheusObserver`](observability::PrometheusObserver).
