Independent Real-Time Communications Architecture
Synton is built by engineers who design and maintain dedicated real-time media systems. We build specialized Selective Forwarding Unit infrastructure focused purely on predictable latency and clean developer ergonomics.
The Focused Specialist Philosophy
Rather than attempting to be an all-purpose public cloud, Synton operates as a focused real-time media platform: a compact regional fleet of well-provisioned SFU media nodes, not a global anycast cloud. We do not provide generic VPS hosting, content distribution, or serverless databases. Every machine in our network runs a purpose-built media forwarding daemon designed to maximize throughput and minimize jitter.
By specializing exclusively in Selective Forwarding Units (SFUs), we eliminate the transcoding bottlenecks and virtualization overhead that degrade real-time video conferences during usage spikes.
Zero Over-Subscription & Dedicated Buffers
Public multi-tenant video platforms frequently pack thousands of low-tier streams onto shared server instances, resulting in sudden packet drops and audio robotic distortion when neighbor rooms peak. Synton enforces strict capacity controls:
- Dedicated WebRTC media forwarding pipelines provisioned per tenant workspace.
- Per-project API credentials and cryptographic room isolation keys.
- Local NVMe recording buffers dedicated to project streams, preventing I/O contention.
- Predictable round-trip times achieved through direct peering at major interconnect exchanges.
Operational Target & SLA
We maintain a 99.9% availability target over a rolling operational window across all active edge PoP clusters. Real-time platform component health is published transparently on our public status board.
