## Architecture & Technology

### What is Qumo Deploy?

Qumo Deploy is a global control plane and orchestration layer for low-latency media and data forwarding relays built on Media over QUIC (MoQ) and WebTransport. It manages tenant isolation, authentication, ephemeral credentials, and automated billing.

### How does Media over QUIC (MoQ) differ from WebRTC and HLS?

* **vs. HLS / DASH**: Legacy HTTP chunk streaming suffers from 2 to 30 seconds of latency. MoQ delivers sub-second real-time streaming with CDN-friendly aggregation.
* **vs. WebRTC**: While WebRTC achieves sub-second latency, scaling to thousands of concurrent viewers requires expensive Selective Forwarding Units (SFUs). MoQ aggregates traffic through lightweight edge relays, drastically reducing bandwidth and infrastructure costs.

### Do web browsers support MoQ natively?

MoQ is currently an active standard draft at the IETF. Browsers support the underlying **WebTransport** protocol natively, and Qumo provides embeddable player libraries (`@qumo/moq`) to handle media demuxing and playback.

## Accounts & Workspaces

### How many workspaces can I create?

Standard accounts can create up to **three (3) self-service workspaces**. For dedicated enterprise clusters with custom fleet capacity, contact our enterprise support team.

### Can I invite external team members to my organization?

Yes. Tenant Admins can invite team members via email (`/org/members`) and assign granular RBAC roles (`roles/tenant.admin`, `roles/project.admin`, `roles/project.editor`, `roles/project.viewer`).

## Billing & Quotas

### How is bandwidth consumption calculated?

Bandwidth is metered based on total ingress and egress bytes routed through edge relays during your monthly billing cycle.

### What happens if I exceed my plan's included bandwidth?

If your tenant exceeds the included quota (e.g. 100 GB on Pro, 500 GB on Team), your streams are **not** abruptly cut off. Additional usage is automatically billed at your plan's contracted overage rate ($0.08/GB on Pro, $0.06/GB on Team) and charged via Stripe at the end of the billing period.

### Can I set budget alerts to prevent unexpected spend?

Yes. Project administrators can configure monthly budget caps and notification alerts via the Web Console (`/usage`) or REST API (`POST /admin/v1/projects/{id}/budget`).
