The WHIP and WHEP protocols standardize how WebRTC connections are established for broadcasting — WHIP handles stream ingestion and WHEP handles distribution — reducing custom implementation complexity. Developers building live streaming apps must choose between building their own WebRTC infrastructure (complex, requires skilled teams) or using third-party providers. Fishjam is presented as a managed WebRTC API with React and React Native SDKs that abstracts away the infrastructure complexity. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
