Turbulent | Game platform back-end Developer | Montreal, Canada | Remote or Onsite | https://turbulent.ca
Turbulent builds & deploys technologies to connect game developers and their audience.
We are actively looking to fill several positions in our game services team working on Star Citizen. The tech stack is composed of Node/Typescript, gRPC, Kafka, MySQL, Redis, over EKS but our team also mingles in C, C++ (game client and server), NNM and launcher.
We strive to build highly distributed systems that power the social elements of the MMO including services like voice, chat, groups, persistence and others.
We are looking to expand the team with qualified members to tackle even more aspects of gameplay services as well as the connectivity of the game world to the real world.
We write our own services to coordinate janus rooms over multiple instances. That service takes care of translating from our own domain specific entities to janus room. It's also responsible for sharding rooms to healthy and available Janus instances. Instead of treating janus rooms as thick/permanent, we prefer to treat them like "just-in-time", rooms get destroyed when not used and get provisioned when requesetd, making it very flexible.
We have made some modifications to the Janus video room plugin but only to fix bugs or provide specific functionality we needed for certain gaming use-cases. Out of the box, the plugin is already very featureful. The key is to always stay up to date with master, the project is fairly active and so keeping up to date is very important.
We have debated writing our own plugin and that's certainly a possibility in the future. (There is a Duktape JS layer available) To be completely transparent, if we were to reach that need, I would re-evaluate the solution with more recent alternatives, like pion.ly.
We use Janus as a WebRTC SFU for projects in the education/gaming sector. Its general purpose approach to WebRTC has been a good foundation to help us build custom solutions.
