Hi Matthew
one quick question, I read in another thread that there was some work going
on in the scaling part.
so if we really need to load balance across multiple servers, is it
possible with Prosody as of now.
Any tutorial/doc you can point me to will be great too.
another option I read was that we can shard the users over multiple servers
each server handling a sub-domain.
considering I have control over the client completely, can we easily have
one user on on server talking to another
user on another server easily and hence achieve horizontal scaling?
Pardon me english and knowledge of Prosody as I am quite new to it (just
started looking at it a month ago)

Hi guys,
What's the overview on scaling prosody? Lua is fast, prosody is
lightweight,
and you guys are awesome, but apart from that I know little about what
to
expect as more concurrent users get added. I'm expecting to have to
support
hundreds of simultaneous connections and tens of thousands of JIDs.
For those numbers there's really not much to do. The most important
thing is just make sure you're using libevent (
https://prosody.im/doc/libevent ). You can confirm by Prosody's log
message at startup, which should say Prosody is using the epoll
backend for connection handling (on Linux).
For public servers it's also a good idea to enable mod_limits (from
prosody-modules), make sure mod_privacy and mod_compression are
disabled (they are disabled by default), and enable mod_muc_limits too
if you have public chatrooms.
But there's no trick to it, Prosody will easily serve hundreds (and
well into the thousands) on any reasonable server without you having
to pay much attention to it.
Regards,
Matthew
