About FrameWorks
The streaming platform that combines self-hosted video operations with hosted processing - own your video stack, burst into ours.
Why we built FrameWorks
We're building the streaming infrastructure that doesn't lock you in. Need custom features? Build them yourself or let us help. Switch providers? Your infrastructure comes with you. Cloud bills spiraling? Run it yourself with our open source stack.
Built by the MistServer team and backed by Livepeer, we make production-grade video infrastructure accessible without handing control to cloud vendors.
Run it yourself, use our hosted services, or mix and match. Uncloud your infrastructure.
Core Pillars
Developer-First
Typed SDKs over a GraphQL API. Player and StreamCrafter components for React and Svelte.
End-to-End Analytics
Routing decisions, QoE metrics, and player telemetry — so you can see why viewer X connected to edge Y.
Sovereignty Without Pain
Run the whole stack on your own hardware. No licensing fees. Switch to hybrid for burst capacity or extra geo coverage.
Agent-Native
MCP server, wallet auth, x402 payments. AI agents operate autonomously; or call Skipper when you hit a video roadblock.
Coming Soon
A drop-in app that auto-discovers IP cameras, VISCA PTZ controls, NDI sources, USB webcams, and HDMI inputs.
Combine multiple input streams into one composite output with picture-in-picture, overlays, and mixing.
AI-native live video: transcribe, analyze, automate, and transform streams in real time.
FairPlay, Widevine, and PlayReady protection for premium and licensed content, built natively into MistServer.

Our journey
How we got here and where we're headed.
FrameWorks ships the first public demo environment and onboarding flow in time for IBC Amsterdam.
- IBC showcase highlights CDN + hosted processing pipelines with telemetry.
- Sales-engineering loop; from demo interest into structured pilots.
- Partner roadmap aligned with MistServer + Livepeer field feedback captured during the conference.
Core platform is live with limited capacity and a semi-autonomous Media plane
- Operators onboard quickly through the CLI.
- Advanced features start to roll out to round out platform featureset
- Code hardening, unit testing, UX polish, and documentation depth.
Grow the core team, expand infrastructure regions, and deepen enterprise integrations.
- Expand SRE and solutions engineering headcount to support multi-region customer rollouts.
- Broaden advanced-processing orchestration and AI automation capabilities.
- Acquire ASN and expand the network across various data centers.
Deliver a federated CDN and marketplace so operators can exchange bandwidth & compute.
- Ensure the network is open & accessible, and lessen our role as the central gatekeeper.
- Expose FrameWorks policy engine so operators trade bandwidth and processing workloads securely.
- Maintain public-domain licensing so any team can extend, self-host, and interoperate without friction.
