So we do have a tiny bit of Secret Scalability Sauce that's not part of the default self-hosted sync setup, because it's kinda fiddly and is not required until you start pushing very large numbers of users. Basically, we run multiple storage nodes and have each user account assigned to sync to a specific node. If you're connected to the Mozilla-hosted sync system, go into "about:config" in Firefox and search for "clusterURL". You'll see something like: clusterURL: https://sync-60-us-west-2.sync.services.mozilla.com/1.5/3597148/ That's my "sync node". This is a very simple scheme for splitting the load across multiple machines. For Sync1.1 this is part of the authentication API, and the server that's responsible for it is called the "node assignment server": http://hg.mozilla.org/services/server-node-assignment For Sync1.5 the same job is done by the new authentication server, called the "tokenserver": http://docs.services.mozilla.com/token/index.html https://github.com/mozilla-services/tokenserver > For now I’m working on Sync 1.1 due to Fennec incompatibility with Sync > 1.5 custom server. Given Nick's reply about the imminent availability of this in Fennec, are you interested in switching over to Sync1.5? I'll avoid overloading you with further details of either system for now.
