+#### Streaming Scale Tradeoffs (Current Prototype)
+- The current implementation is **not production-grade at scale**.
+- Video quality and reliability currently depend on direct browser-to-browser WebRTC success, with a low-fps frame relay fallback in the simulator.
+- This backend currently acts as a control plane (commands, session state, credentials, events), not a full media plane/SFU.
+- Running live transport + fan-out + recording on the same web server is possible for small loads but introduces significant CPU, RAM, and network egress pressure under concurrency.
+- For larger deployments, use a dedicated media plane (managed or self-hosted SFU + recorder) and keep this service focused on auth/session/control APIs.
