TomatoRTC

Build real-time applications. Own the platform.

Voice · Video · Data · AI

Own your stack Room-native AI Multi-tenant Full source
Session coordination

Rooms, presence, permissions, chat, signals, awareness, admin API, audit trails.

Media routing

Mesh and SFU topologies, TURN relay, simulcast, reconnect.

Operations

Live diagnostics, topology graphs, support bundles, SIEM export, OpenTelemetry, tenant usage NDJSON.

Extension

Node/Python workers, browser AI perception, effects plugins, swappable adapters.

Platform overview

Not just an SDK. A complete real-time platform.

Applications

Browser SDK, widgets, Node/Python/Go/C# workers and embedded experiences.

SDKs

Client and server libraries sharing one room protocol envelope across every language.

Platform Services

Signaling, presence, chat, awareness, data channels, admin API, audit trails.

Media Infrastructure

Mesh + SFU topologies, first-party TURN, ICE policy, simulcast, reconnect.

Cloud / Infrastructure

Self-hosted VMs, private cloud, public cloud, or TomatoRTC-managed clusters.

AI Runtime

Service-participant workers, client perception, supervisor API, BYO STT/LLM/TTS.

Ideal customer

B2B products that outgrow hosted per-minute RTC — and need AI in the room.

TomatoRTC fits teams with backend engineering capacity who want predictable economics, tenant isolation, audit exports, and room-native voice agents.

Good fit

  • B2B SaaS adding live voice, video, or AI agents
  • Regulated or cost-at-scale buyers (healthcare, fintech, edtech)
  • Teams outgrowing Twilio Video's narrowed 1:1 engagement focus or Vonage's Ericsson-owned managed model
  • Platforms needing custom tenancy, audit, or BYO AI providers

Poor fit

  • Mobile-only MVP with no backend team
  • Vendor HIPAA BAA required on day one
  • Zero-infrastructure global edge expectation
  • Turnkey voice-agent SaaS with no room integration

Platform pillars

One coherent stack from join to hang-up — and beyond.

Session control, media engines, relay, workers, and observability share one protocol envelope so your product can grow without ripping out integrations.

Voice shipped

Full-duplex audio in every room. Mesh and SFU paths, adaptive bitrate, TURN fallback.

Video shipped

Simulcast and SVC video for adaptive quality at any network condition.

Data shipped

Channels, signals, awareness, chat, and receipts over the same protocol envelope.

Intelligence hardening

Room-native AI workers, client perception, supervisor API, BYO model providers.

Why not raw WebRTC?

The protocol is free. The platform is the product.

Raw WebRTC is a browser API, not a production system. TomatoRTC supplies the signaling, routing, scaling, and observability layer you would otherwise build from scratch.

Architecture

Five layers. One protocol. Zero rip-and-replace growth.

Client Apps → SDK → Signal Mesh → Media Services → Optional AI. Each layer is independently operable and composable.

01 Client Apps

Browser, Node, Python, Go, C# workers and widgets

02 SDK

Shared room protocol — client and server surfaces

03 Signal Mesh

Rooms · Auth · Presence · Audit · Admin

04 Media Services

SFU, TURN, simulcast, recording, reconnect

05 Optional AI

STT, LLM, TTS workers, perception, supervisor

Deployment

Deploy where your requirements demand.

Same protocol, same SDK, same operator tooling — regardless of where the infrastructure runs.

Self Hosted You operate

Annual platform license. Your VMs, bandwidth, and ops team.

Private Cloud Your cloud account

Runs in your AWS/GCP/Azure tenancy. Full data residency control.

Public Cloud TomatoRTC managed

Regional clusters, upgrades, monitoring hooks, runbook-aligned ops.

Hybrid Common path

Dev/staging self-host; production managed — or vice versa for regulated data residency.

Ecosystem

TomatoRTC at the center. Your product in every direction.

Widgets

Drop-in UI components — call controls, video tiles, chat panels — embed in any framework.

AI Agents

Service-participant workers that join rooms, process audio, and emit structured events.

Integrations

Webhooks, SIEM export, OpenTelemetry — connect to your existing observability stack.

SDKs

Browser, Node, Python, Go, C# — one room protocol surface across every environment.

Applications

Your product layer on top. Full data ownership, custom tenancy, BYO auth.

Analytics

Call quality graphs, topology maps, support bundles, audit trails, and usage events for your billing pipeline.

Capabilities → outcomes

Technical depth. Business-level impact.

Every capability maps to a concrete outcome your product and customers feel directly.

  • Simulcast Scale — multiple quality layers delivered simultaneously; receivers pick the best fit.
  • SVC Adaptability — scalable video coding adjusts in real time without re-encoding streams.
  • Data Channels Collaboration — low-latency binary or text data alongside media in every room.
  • Presence Interactivity — shared awareness of who is in the room and what they are doing.
  • Observability Accountability — explain call quality, pass audits, export tenant usage for billing, and control relay economics.

Platform pillars

Composable · Scalable · Observable · Extensible

Four properties that distinguish a platform from a collection of APIs — and that compound in value as your product grows.

Composable

Mix mesh and SFU topologies, swap AI providers, and combine primitives without rearchitecting.

Scalable

Single node to clustered regional deployment — same API surface at every scale tier.

Observable

Live diagnostics, topology graphs, OpenTelemetry export, usage NDJSON, support bundles, and SIEM connectors.

Extensible

Worker SDK, hooks, plugins, and swappable adapters — own and extend every layer.

Where this goes

Communication → Collaboration → Intelligence → Platform

TomatoRTC is the foundation layer. Each capability unlocks the next.

Communication

Voice, video, and data channels. The real-time substrate every product needs.

Collaboration

Shared signals, awareness, chat, and presence. Real-time state across every participant.

Intelligence

AI workers, perception, and supervisor API. Room-native cognition, not post-processing.

Platform

Composable services, extensible SDK, and deployment freedom. Own the full stack.

A real-time application platform for building voice, video, data, and AI-powered experiences without surrendering infrastructure ownership.

Build once. Deploy anywhere. Own the platform.
