Rainway is software you can install on your local gaming rig or cloud provider of your choice. Once you've installed the Dashboard on your PC, we establish a P2P connection between it and the connecting client.
Then we utilize your existing computer hardware and games, and you can play them instantly inside of a browser via low latency, high fidelity stream.
We make use of a custom version of WebRTC (default) (https://github.com/RainwayApp/spitfire) and WebSockets as a fallback with low latency implementations.
