Create dedicated utility function for livekit API client initialization.
Centralizes configuration logic including custom session handling for SSL
verification. Improves code reuse across backend components that interact
with LiveKit.
Update livekit-api dependency to most recent release, enabling custom session
configuration. New version allows disabling SSL verification in local
development environment through session parameter support.
Improves sendData reliability by preventing execution when the room
doesn’t exist.
This change addresses errors in staging and production where waiting
participants arrive before the room owner creates the room.
In remote environments, the LiveKit Python SDK doesn’t return a clean
Twirp error when the room is missing; instead of a proper "server unknown"
response, it raises a ContentTypeError, as if the LiveKit server weren’t
responding with a JSON payload, even though the code specifies otherwise.
While the issue cannot be reproduced locally,
this should help mitigate production errors.
Part of a broader effort to enhance data transmission reliability.
Importantly, a participant requesting entry to a room before the owner
arrives should not be considered an exception.
Create new service that matches received events with their appropriate
handlers. Provides centralized system for event routing and processing
across the application.
If an event has no handler, it would be ignored.
Implement new lobby service method to clear all participant entries from cache.
Lays foundation for upcoming feature where participant permissions reset when
meetings end. Currently introduces only the cache clearing functionality;
event handling for meeting conclusion will be implemented in future commits
Introduce new intermediate access level between public and restricted that
allows authenticated users to join rooms without admin approval. Not making
this the default level yet as current 12hr sessions would create painful
user experience for accessing rooms. Will reconsider default settings after
improving session management.
This access level definition may evolve to become stricter in the future,
potentially limiting access to authenticated users who share the same
organization as the room admin.
Replace excessive mocking with more realistic test scenarios to better
reflect actual code execution. Improves debuggability while maintaining
thorough test coverage.
Implement lobby service using cache as LiveKit doesn't natively support
secure lobby functionality. Their teams recommended to create our own
system in our app's backend.
The lobby system is totally independant of the DRF session IDs,
making the request_entry endpoint authentication agnostic.
This decoupling prevents future DRF changes from breaking lobby functionality
and makes participant tracking more explicit.
Security audit is needed as current LiveKit tokens have excessive privileges
for unprivileged users. I'll offer more option ASAP for the admin to control
participant privileges.
Race condition handling also requires improvements, but should not be critical
at this point.
A great enhancement, would be to add a webhook, notifying the backend when the
room is closed, to reset cache.
This commit makes redis a prerequesite to run the suite of tests. The readme
and CI will be updated in dedicated commits.
Introduced a MarketingService protocol for typed marketing operations,
allowing easy integration of alternative services.
Implemented a Brevo wrapper following the protocol to decouple
the codebase from the sdk. These implementations are simple and pragmatic.
Feel free to refactor them.
