[Red5devs] OpenAMF and BlazeDS

[Thijs Triemstra | Collab]

Hi Caio,

> First: Are OpenAMF and BlazeDS competitor solutions to Red5?

As far as I know OpenAMF is not being maintained anymore and doesn't  
support AMF3 etc. BlazeDS is similar to Red5 (same license, also java  
with spring) except it doesn't support RTMP (for audio/video/data  
streaming) but on the other hand it does support the Flex messaging  
APIs.

> Second: If yes, why does Red5 is a better solution?

One reason could be the fact that Red5 is a project for developers by  
developers, whereas BlazeDS is a tightly-controlled project of Adobe,  
but maybe more suitable for newbies because they have pretty good  
documentation available. IMO BlazeDS has a 'enterprise' vibe whereas  
Red5 is a true OSFlash project. One advantage of BlazeDS is the fact  
they have unit tests for nearly every aspect of their server,  
something that is missing for Red5.

Cheers,

Thijs
