While VRCDN is a really convenient service with excellent support, I think more events should consider making their own CDN servers. I want to release documentation how our custom server is set up at Heist. It is healthy to have some decentralization with bandwidth and server load.

Single points of failure are stressful on big nights like NYE every year. Lack of competition increases the likeliness of price hikes as more bandwidth and support is required. The servers can be tailored to each event's specific needs.

Oo I'm definitely interested in reviewing the docs / contributing to productionizing this! hmu

I agree, however there's a lot of caveats with running your own low latency streaming server which not everyone wants to deal with. Such as RTMP / RTSP not working well over high latency connections, of course the bandwidth and hosting costs, etc.
