My company uses OpenFire for server-side and smack for client-side in its XMPP Android application.
AWS seems like a good and scalable service for what we need. We use it for testing our app, but I'm afraid that the server will crash with 20k-50k users.
I have 2 questions:
- Is AWS good enough for an XMPP (OpenFire) server? What are the pros and cons?
- How do I build such an application that can handle 20k online users at least, and lets say 2k opened chat rooms?
- Is there any specific tutorial for this kind of stuff?
Money is not a problem in terms of server costs. Time is what matter for us right now.
