Inertia

Gives you true flexibility by allowing use of any other libraries thanks to modular architecture. An adaptable ecosystem that is a fully-fledged backbone for all kinds of server-side applications. Takes advantage of latest JavaScript features, bringing design patterns and mature solutions to Node.js world. A complete development kit for building scalable server-side apps. In recent years, thanks to Node.js, JavaScript has become the “lingua franca” of the web for both front and backend applications. This has given rise to awesome projects like Angular, React and Vue, which improve developer productivity and enable the creation of fast, testable, and extensible frontend applications. However, while plenty of superb libraries, helpers, and tools exist for Node (and server-side JavaScript), none of them effectively solve the main problem of - Architecture.

Membrane Framework is a developer-friendly, customizable multimedia framework for Elixir, built for creating real-time communication systems, media servers, streaming pipelines, and server-side audio-video processing workflows. It gives developers a flexible way to build multimedia solutions by composing pipelines from elements, bins, and plugins that handle formats, codecs, protocols, containers, and external APIs. Membrane Framework can be used to implement WebRTC SFU architectures with modular input and output, making it suitable for applying processing, dumping media at any stage, or creating additional non-WebRTC outputs. Because Membrane is built in Elixir, its pipelines can benefit from scalability, fault tolerance, and easy integration into existing Elixir applications, including Phoenix-based web servers. It supports server-side processing, transcoding, monitoring utilities, real-time communication, and custom media workflows where developers need more control.
