How Red5 Cloud compares to Red5 Pro
Red5 Pro gives you full control over your streaming infrastructure — you deploy and manage your own servers on-premises or in your cloud account. Red5 Cloud wraps those same capabilities in a fully managed environment, removing the operational overhead.| Red5 Pro | Red5 Cloud | |
|---|---|---|
| Infrastructure management | You manage servers | Red5 manages everything |
| Scaling | Manual or scripted | Automatic via Stream Manager 2.0 |
| Time to first stream | Hours to days | Minutes |
| Deployment model | Self-hosted (on-prem or your cloud) | Managed PaaS |
| Monitoring | Third-party or custom | Built-in console |
| Best for | Full control, custom environments | Speed, simplicity, scale |
Both Red5 Pro and Red5 Cloud support the same core streaming protocols — WebRTC, RTMP, SRT, HLS, and Zixi. Choosing Red5 Cloud means you get all the power of Red5 Pro without the infrastructure work.
