Daily.co Migration Implementation Status

Completed Components

1. Platform Abstraction Layer (server/reflector/video_platforms/)

• base.py: Abstract interface defining all platform operations
• whereby.py: Whereby implementation wrapping existing functionality
• daily.py: Daily.co client implementation (ready for testing when credentials available)
• mock.py: Mock implementation for unit testing
• registry.py: Platform registration and discovery
• factory.py: Factory methods for creating platform clients

2. Database Updates

• Models: Added platform field to Room and Meeting tables
• Migration: Created migration 20250801180012_add_platform_support.py
• Controllers: Updated to handle platform field

3. Configuration

• Settings: Added Daily.co configuration variables
• Feature Flags:
  • DAILY_MIGRATION_ENABLED: Master switch for migration
  • DAILY_MIGRATION_ROOM_IDS: List of specific rooms to migrate
  • DEFAULT_VIDEO_PLATFORM: Default platform when migration enabled

4. Backend API Updates

• Room Creation: Now assigns platform based on feature flags
• Meeting Creation: Uses platform abstraction instead of direct Whereby calls
• Response Models: Include platform field
• Webhook Handler: Added Daily.co webhook endpoint at /v1/daily_webhook

5. Frontend Components (www/app/[roomName]/components/)

• RoomContainer.tsx: Platform-agnostic container that routes to appropriate component
• WherebyRoom.tsx: Extracted existing Whereby functionality with consent management
• DailyRoom.tsx: Daily.co implementation using DailyIframe
• Dependencies: Added @daily-co/daily-js and @daily-co/daily-react

How It Works

1. Platform Selection:

   • If DAILY_MIGRATION_ENABLED=false → Always use Whereby
   • If enabled and room ID in DAILY_MIGRATION_ROOM_IDS → Use Daily
   • Otherwise → Use DEFAULT_VIDEO_PLATFORM

2. Meeting Creation Flow:

   platform = get_platform_for_room(room.id)
   client = create_platform_client(platform)
   meeting_data = await client.create_meeting(...)
   

3. Testing Without Credentials:

   • Use platform="mock" in tests
   • Mock client simulates all operations
   • No external API calls needed

Next Steps

When Daily.co Credentials Available:

1. Set Environment Variables:

   DAILY_API_KEY=your-key
   DAILY_WEBHOOK_SECRET=your-secret
   DAILY_SUBDOMAIN=your-subdomain
   AWS_DAILY_S3_BUCKET=your-bucket
   AWS_DAILY_ROLE_ARN=your-role
   

2. Run Database Migration:

   cd server
   uv run alembic upgrade head
   

3. Test Platform Creation:

   from reflector.video_platforms.factory import create_platform_client
   client = create_platform_client("daily")
   # Test operations...
   

Remaining Implementation Tasks:

1. Webhook Handlers:

   • Create /v1/daily_webhook endpoint
   • Map Daily.co events to database updates
   • Handle recording notifications

2. Frontend Updates:

   • Create DailyRoom component
   • Implement platform detection
   • Update consent flow

3. Testing:

   • Unit tests with mock platform
   • Integration tests with real APIs
   • Migration rollback tests

Testing the Current Implementation

Without Daily.co credentials, you can test using the mock:

from reflector.video_platforms.factory import create_platform_client
from reflector.video_platforms.base import VideoPlatformConfig

# Create mock client
config = VideoPlatformConfig(
    api_key="test",
    webhook_secret="test"
)
client = create_platform_client("mock")

# Test operations
meeting = await client.create_meeting(
    room_name_prefix="test",
    end_date=datetime.utcnow() + timedelta(hours=1),
    room=room
)

Architecture Benefits

1. Testable: Mock implementation allows testing without external dependencies
2. Extensible: Easy to add new platforms (Zoom, Teams, etc.)
3. Gradual Migration: Feature flags enable room-by-room migration
4. Rollback Ready: Can disable Daily.co instantly via feature flag
