A side-by-side editorial comparison of LiveKit and Eventzilla — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
LiveKit keeps hardening its real-time core, this time tightening TURN auth.
LiveKit ships its real-time media server at a steady infra cadence, with v1.13.0 the latest tag. The visible work here is plumbing-level: authentication and connectivity rather than user-facing features.
One real theme release amid stale event-planning content
Eventzilla's feed pairs a single product update — five new event-landing-page themes — with a backlog of evergreen event-planning strategy posts. The entries run from mid-2024 to March 2025, so the crawled feed is stale by more than a year.

The single recent signal points at maintenance of the transport layer, removing legacy TURN auth behavior rather than adding surface. With only one entry in view, the broader arc is hard to read.
Expect continued point releases tightening connectivity and auth; the backwards-compatibility removal suggests a cleanup phase ahead of a larger version.
Eventzilla's feed pairs a single product update — five new event-landing-page themes — with a backlog of evergreen event-planning strategy posts. The entries run from mid-2024 to March 2025, so the crawled feed is stale by more than a year.
The lone product move is cosmetic (landing-page themes), and everything newer is absent, so the trajectory is not observable — the blog appears to have stopped updating or the crawler is on an archived feed.
Without recent entries, no confident prediction; the feed source likely needs re-pointing to confirm whether product work continues.
