Meet9ja – Live Streaming & App Performance Optimization We are looking for an experienced Flutter + LiveKit + PostgreSQL developer to optimize our existing social/live-streaming app. Main Issues Users Are Experiencing 1. Excessive Data Consumption During Live Streaming Users are actively complaining that the app consumes too much mobile data when they are watching a live stream or going live themselves. * Going live consumes a significant amount of mobile data. * Watching live streams also consumes excessive data. * We need to optimize video/audio transmission, bitrate, resolution, adaptive streaming, and network usage. * Data consumption should be reduced significantly while maintaining acceptable live-stream quality. 2. Phone Overheating & Battery Drain Users are also reporting that their phones heat up and battery drains quickly when: * Hosting/going live. * Watching live streams. * Using the live feature for extended periods. We need to identify what is causing excessive CPU, GPU, memory, network, and video-processing usage and optimize it. 3. Excessive LiveKit Costs Our LiveKit costs are currently too high. The developer needs to audit the implementation and identify unnecessary usage, including: * Unnecessary connections. * Connections that remain active after users leave. * Excessive bandwidth usage. * Recording/auto-recording usage where unnecessary. * Inefficient media configuration. * Unnecessary background processes or network activity. The goal is to significantly reduce LiveKit costs without compromising the live-streaming experience. 4. Excessive Data/Network Usage Outside Live Streaming The app also appears to consume mobile data during normal app usage, even when users are not watching or hosting a live stream. Please investigate: * Unnecessary API requests. * Repeated database/API calls. * Excessive polling. * Media automatically loading when it isn’t needed. * Poor caching. * Background network activity. * Unnecessary listeners/connections. 5. Overall App Performance We also want a complete performance audit to identify: * Memory leaks. * Excessive CPU usage. * Slow loading. * Unnecessary database/API requests. * Inefficient Flutter code. * Poor caching/pagination. * Background processes. * Excessive battery consumption. Live Streaming Requirements The developer should specifically optimize LiveKit and the live-streaming architecture so that: * Hosts use less data while going live. * Viewers use less data while watching. * Battery consumption is reduced. * Phone overheating is reduced. * LiveKit bandwidth/usage is reduced. * Users are properly disconnected when they leave a live. * No unnecessary LiveKit connections remain active in the background. * Video quality remains stable and acceptable. * Existing live features such as audio, video, comments, gifts, and interactions continue working. Important This is an existing production app with real users. Users are already complaining about excessive data consumption, battery drain, and phone overheating during live streaming. I am not looking to rebuild the app from scratch. I need a developer who can audit the existing implementation, identify the actual causes, and optimize the system properly. Tech Stack * Flutter * LiveKit * PostgreSQL * Existing backend/API infrastructure * iOS & Android Developer Requirements Please apply only if you have strong experience with: * Flutter performance optimization * LiveKit/live-streaming optimization * Video/audio streaming * Mobile network optimization * Battery/CPU/memory optimization * API/backend optimization * PostgreSQL * iOS & Android performance The developer should provide a before-and-after comparison where possible, showing improvements in data consumption, battery/CPU usage, LiveKit usage/cost, and overall app performance. What I Expect From the Developer * Proper technical audit before making major changes. * Clear explanation of what is causing the excessive costs and resource usage. * Measurable improvements in LiveKit cost, mobile data consumption, battery usage, overheating, network requests, and overall performance. * No breaking of existing features. * Proper testing on both Android and iOS. * Clean, maintainable code.

Hello, High bitrate defaults, unnecessary simultaneous publish tracks, and persistent background API polling are the most likely causes of Meet9ja's excessive data use and the phone overheating you describe. LiveKit sessions that keep redundant peer connections, continuous high-resolution encoding, or frequent signaling/API heartbeats will push CPU/GPU and cellular data far beyond what users expect. I have repeatedly improved Flutter apps that use WebRTC/LiveKit-style stacks and PostgreSQL backends by removing redundant connections, tuning encoder settings, and fixing background work. In past projects I identified excessive camera frame rates and multiple publish tracks as the primary culprits, implemented adaptive bitrate controls and codec parameter tuning, and reduced mobile battery draw and monthly bandwidth by measurable amounts. My work includes profiling Flutter app CPU/GPU usage, tracing memory leaks, and auditing server-side session lifecycles to stop orphaned connections. I will start with a short performance audit: capture device-side CPU/GPU/memory traces during live sessions, collect LiveKit connection and track metrics, and analyze background network calls from the app to spot unnecessary API requests. Changes will focus on adaptive bitrate, codec settings, connection pruning, and eliminating background polling. - Do you have recent device logs, LiveKit diagnostic reports, or sample sessions I can reproduce locally? - Which PostgreSQL queries or background jobs do you suspect are contributing to the extra network or CPU load?

Hi, Your app needs a measurement-led audit—not a rebuild. I can profile the Flutter client, LiveKit sessions, backend APIs, and PostgreSQL queries to identify exactly what is driving high data usage, overheating, battery drain, and streaming costs. My approach will include: ✅ Measure bitrate, resolution, FPS, CPU/GPU, memory, battery, and network usage on Android and iOS ✅ Optimize LiveKit adaptive streaming, simulcast layers, codecs, track subscriptions, reconnection, and room cleanup ✅ Detect lingering connections, unnecessary recording, polling, listeners, media loading, and background requests ✅ Improve API caching, pagination, PostgreSQL queries, and Flutter lifecycle/resource disposal ✅ Regression-test comments, gifts, audio/video, and other live interactions ✅ Provide before-and-after benchmarks with documented changes I have 6+ years of development experience and can start with a controlled technical audit before recommending production changes. Please share repository access, architecture details, and recent LiveKit usage reports so we can define the baseline. Regards, Ankita Verma

You need to find the real sources of LiveKit data use, battery drain, overheating, and lingering connections in a production Flutter app—then prove the improvement without breaking live features. I build Flutter applications and backend services with PostgreSQL, WebSockets, and AWS-based real-time pipelines. At Marin Software, I worked on real-time Python services where connection lifecycle, unnecessary processing, and measurable resource use mattered. I would begin with an audit, not blind code changes: capture baseline metrics for host/viewer bitrate, resolution, FPS, reconnects, room duration, CPU/memory, API traffic, and LiveKit usage. From there I’d trace room connect/disconnect paths, app lifecycle handling, subscriptions, background listeners, repeated queries, media preloading, and pagination/caching. Likely optimization areas include adaptive video settings, simulcast or subscribed-quality controls, stopping tracks/listeners when inactive, proper lifecycle cleanup, and removing unnecessary polling. Each change would be tested on Android and iOS against the existing video, audio, comments, and gifts flow. I’ll provide a clear audit report and before/after measurements so cost and quality tradeoffs are visible. Do you have LiveKit telemetry, representative device models, and a staging environment for safe profiling?

Backend for Meet9ja sounds like it's dropping frames under load, that's usually the RTMP or PostgreSQL query layer choking, not Flutter. I would profile the streaming pipeline first, then fix the API bottlenecks feeding the mobile client. Can start today, initial pass done in 3 to 4 days. This budget and timeline are based on the post alone, once we go through the actual logs and load numbers the scope may shift. Want to hop on a quick call?

Hi, Your project doesn't need someone who simply follows the brief. It needs someone who understands what you're trying to achieve and figures out how to get you there. That's how I approach projects. Before writing code or jumping into execution, I want to understand the problem, the goal, and what success actually looks like for your business. I've spent the last several years turning business problems into working digital products, leading developers and designers, managing projects from idea to delivery, and delivering 40+ web and mobile projects. Do I know everything? Absolutely not. But I know how to solve problems. If I don't have the answer, I'll find it. I'll research, learn, test, ask the right questions, and keep working until we have a solution. And once I'm on board: It's our business. Our problem. Our responsibility. I'll give you my honest opinion, challenge ideas when I see a better approach, and never agree just for the sake of keeping things comfortable. I work with clients because I care about building things that succeed. If you're looking for someone who will take ownership rather than simply complete tasks, I'd be happy to learn more about what you're building.
