Idea

A lightweight monitoring dashboard for self-hosted LiveKit instances that tracks rooms, participants, session history, and egress/ingress activity. Targets teams running LiveKit on-premise who need visibility but don't want to pay for LiveKit Cloud.

Why this is interesting

LiveKit adoption has accelerated alongside the broader WebRTC infrastructure boom, and self-hosted deployments specifically are growing as teams try to avoid per-participant cloud costs at scale — so the timing for tooling around it is reasonable. No clear incumbent exists for LiveKit-specific observability; teams are currently cobbling together Grafana dashboards with Prometheus exporters, which is functional but painful to set up. The $500–2k/mo revenue band is honest for a niche devtools product with a narrow addressable base — this is a lifestyle business ceiling, not a venture trajectory, and pricing it as a one-time license or low-tier SaaS is probably the only model that converts. The biggest risk is that LiveKit's own Cloud offering gets cheaper or their free tier expands enough that self-hosting loses its cost advantage, collapsing the target audience.
