Building for the Unexpected: A Low-Latency HLS Orchestrator in Go

Cloud Platform Engineering London (Event Partner: Experis)
Presenting the low-latency HLS orchestrator talk at Cloud Platform Engineering London

A deep dive into the architecture of a custom-built, low-latency HLS orchestrator in Go. Demystifying .m3u8 manifests and .ts payloads, and why goroutines with sync.RWMutex are the right tool for simultaneous read/write locks across hundreds of streams. Attendees will learn to architect a strict 'sliding window' memory buffer and self-healing contiguity logic that detects missing sequence numbers, 'ghosts' out-of-order segments, and instantly repairs the stream once delayed data arrives.

Self-Healing Streams: Building Resilient Go Services That Survive Failure

Google I/O Extended London (GDG London)
On stage delivering the HLS orchestrator talk at Google I/O Extended London

A hands-on look at keeping live systems alive when the network misbehaves. Using a Go-based HLS streaming pipeline as the example, I covered Go's concurrency primitives, managing shared state under load, and the self-healing patterns (gap detection and instant recovery) that keep a real-time service robust through failure. Practical resilience patterns you can reuse well beyond video.
