✨(backend) add two new endpoints to start and stop a recording
The LiveKit egress worker interactions are proxied through the backend for security reasons. Allowing clients to directly use tokens with sufficient grants to start recordings could lead to misuse, enabling users to spam the egress worker API and potentially initiate a DDOS attack on the egress service. To prevent this, only users with room-specific privileges can initiate recordings. We make sure only one recording at the time can be made on a room. The requested recording mode is stored so it can be referenced later when the recording is saved, triggering a callback action as needed. A feature flag was also introduced for this capability; while this is a simple approach, a more robust system for managing feature flags could be valuable long-term. For now, KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) applies. The viewset endpoints were designed to be as straightforward as possible— let me know if anything can be improved.
