Earlier quoted context omitted.

ffmpeg, vlc, OBS Studio (this one is probably easiest; you can just add an image or add a webcam source etc then configure a rtmp url to push to)

Wirecast from Telestream is a good paid option as well.

Wowza is another one. It scales very well.

How does this compare to Wowza?

It's not running on Java so it should be faster with the same hardware.

There may be a lot to complain about with Java but it is insanely efficient when it comes to serving data out a network port. Wowza will scale well beyond most companies' needs, I've used their stuff for years and it is the one program that convinced me that Java actually can be very efficient for applications like these.

Working on a similar product but using peer to peer live video streaming. Since the data does not touch the server, there are no scaling problems.

There are a couple of cool P2P companies out there like http://www.streamroot.io/ or https://www.peer5.com/

Who's the target market? I think I'm a bit jaded as my first thought was this would open up the streamer to get DDoSed every time they try to stream

I wish there was a decent HTML5 low latency (< 2s) solution. Nothing comes close to RTMP + Flash still.

It can be done http://www.gpac-licensing.com/2014/07/09/lowering-dash-live-...

Not using browsers, those experiments were done using the MP4Client as a client
