Open-source WebRTC implementation for Go, whose NewAPI, NewPeerConnection and NewICEUDPMux surfaces are the subject of the post.
No evidence-backed relationships are recorded.
Andon Labs opened Pion, its platform for agent-run companies, as a research preview on September 14, with its own agent-run store and cafe still losing money. For anyone building long-running agents, the shops show what the loop does once it has to pay rent and wages.
Reality
Signaling rides TCP 443 through the infrastructure you already configured. The media is UDP that bypasses the proxy entirely, and on a NATed cloud VM the server advertises a private address until you configure the public one yourself.
Reality
Pion v4 moved RTCP writing onto the PeerConnection, so a Go SFU now has to rewrite the MediaSSRC on every PLI, FIR and NACK it forwards. Skip that step and RTCP keeps flowing while the keyframe never arrives.
Reality
The platform behind Andon's vending machines, store, cafe and radio stations is now open to outside operators through a waitlist, with a second agent watching the one that holds the cards. Neither physical business was profitable at launch.
Reality
A dev.to post on Pion in Go traces a familiar production failure to the tutorial pattern itself: per-request engines, per-connection ECDSA keys, and a UDP port for every viewer.
