Live stream webcam to many viewers?

Hi there, I'm honestly not sure if this is a good place to post this question but I'm kind of spinning my wheels at the moment so hopefully I can get pointed in the right direction.Essentially I want to be able to have someone be on their webcam and then have multiple people view that live video stream from that persons webcam.I understand this is not exactly a trivial thing but I guess I'm wondering if this is even possible using a typical Node server setup.So far, I've played around with a WebRTC/socket.io implementation. This seems great for connecting one browser to another for live video/audio streaming. But from what I've read, this will fall apart once you get more than 50 or so people people trying to connect to one browser.So I guess my question is, is this even feasible using a Node server app. And if it is feasible, is it worth doing myself? Meaning, would it be smarter for me to just look into companies that provide this functionality as a service? Perhaps Amazon AWS or some other business provides exactly what I'm looking for here.Thanks in advance!
