Layercake Workflow Automation Offers Ant Media Server Integration

Media workflow automation provider Layercake has now integrated Ant Media Server into its Streamcake platform. This marks a significant step forward in intelligent streaming technology. The collaboration brings together sub-second real-time video delivery with automated scheduling and orchestration capabilities, enabling robust scalable and adaptive media workflows for both live and on-demand experiences. The integration will be available to new and existing users of the Streamcake platform.

We’re excited to collaborate with Layercake to bring a new level of automation and control to real-time media workflows,” says Alper Kiziltoprak, Chief Solution Officer of Ant Media. “This integration makes it easier than ever for developers and media teams to deploy highly responsive, secure and scalable video streaming solutions tailored to their specific needs.”

“We are thrilled to be able to offer Ant Media as a new option for customers to build highly dynamic, low-latency media workflows through Streamcake,” adds Pádraig O’Donovan, Chief Executive Officer of Layercake. “This will open up many opportunities for any-scale of media streaming operations to be optimised, controlled and monitored.”

The integration combines Ant Media’s ultra-low latency streaming engine, known for its support of WebRTC and other widely adopted protocols, with Streamcake’s orchestration and automation features designed to streamline end-to-end operational and publishing flows.

Key Benefits of the Integration Include:

• Dynamic Provisioning: Deploy Ant Media Server workloads in existing or new environments of your choice, whether cloud, on-premises or hybrid. Streamcake orchestrates provisioning across infrastructure options, enabling flexible and efficient processing that can be tailored to operational and geographic requirements.
• Ultra-Low Latency Streaming: Sub-0.5 second latency over WebRTC delivers real-time video at scale, supporting use cases such as live auctions, gaming, sport and telehealth.
• Automated Orchestration: Streamcake enables intelligent scheduling of Ant Media stream processing, recording, and publishing pipelines, aligning operational workflows with real-time events.
• Protocol Flexibility: Support for a wide range of ingest and delivery protocols (including WebRTC, RTMP, RTSP, HLS, SRT, LL-HLS/DASH, WHIP/WHEP, Zixi and CMAF) allows seamless integration into diverse broadcast environments.
• Enhanced Security: Integrated token-based access control, IP whitelisting and JWT support ensure secure streaming with streamlined credential management.

From live interactive broadcasting and real-time shopping to remote healthcare and live betting platforms, the joint solution addresses a wide spectrum of real-time use cases where low latency and intelligent automation are critical.
