Developers can now build and test their custom modules using Dockerized containers! You can pick a specific version of Wowza Streaming Engine and ensure compatibility. The process is streamlined for you using our new Docker compose setup, greatly reducing your software delivery time. Definitely a solution made by developers for developers!

The module provides a Gradle and Docker-based development environment for building and testing custom Java modules that extend Wowza Streaming Engine. You can find the new article and repo README here:
