Jitsi vs Mediasoup: What are the differences?

## Introduction

## 1. Scalability:
Jitsi uses a centralized architecture, which limits the scalability based on server capacity and bandwidth availability. On the other hand, Mediasoup uses a decentralized architecture, allowing for better scalability by distributing media processing across multiple nodes.

## 2. Media Processing:
Jitsi processes media on the server side, which can lead to higher server requirements and potential bottlenecks during high usage. Mediasoup, on the other hand, processes media directly on the client side, reducing the load on the server and improving overall performance.

## 3. Customization:
Jitsi offers limited customization options, primarily through plugins and API integrations. In contrast, Mediasoup provides a more extensive customization capability, allowing developers to have greater control over the media handling and integration with other systems.

## 4. Security:
Jitsi has security features but may not be as robust as Mediasoup, which prioritizes security and provides more advanced encryption options and compliance with industry standards to ensure secure communication.

## 5. Integration:
Jitsi is suitable for quick and easy implementations but may lack the flexibility needed for complex integration scenarios. Mediasoup, on the other hand, offers a more robust set of integration options, making it better suited for projects requiring deeper integration with existing systems.

## 6. Community Support:
Jitsi has a larger community of users and contributors, making it easier to find resources and get help. Mediasoup, while not as widely adopted, has a growing community and strong developer support for more specialized use cases.

In Summary, Jitsi and Mediasoup differ in scalability, media processing, customization, security, integration, and community support.

      What is Jitsi?

      Jitsi (acquired by 8x8) is a set of open-source projects that allows you to easily build and deploy secure videoconferencing solutions. At the heart of Jitsi are Jitsi Videobridge and Jitsi Meet, which let you have conferences on the internet, while other projects in the community enable other features such as audio, dial-in, recording, and simulcasting.

      What is Mediasoup?

      Mediasoup and its client side libraries provide a super low level API. They are intended to enable different use cases and scenarios, without any constraint or assumption. Some of these use cases are: Group video chat applications, One-to-many (or few-to-many) broadcasting applications in real-time, and RTP streaming.
