Title Body

Does anyone have an experience running clustered Tigase XMPP servers on Amazon's EC2 , primarily I wish to know about anything that might trip me up that is non-obvious. (For example apparently running Ejabberd on EC2 can cause issues due to Mnesia.) Or if you have any general advice to installing and running Tigase on Ubuntu. Extra information: The system I’m developing uses XMPP just to communicate (in near real-time) between a mobile app and the server(s). The number of users will initially be small, but hopefully will grow. This is why the system needs to be scalable. Presumably for a just a few thousand users you wouldn’t need a cc1.4xlarge EC2 instance? (Otherwise this is going to be very expensive to run!) I plan on using a MySQL database hosted in Amazon RDS for the XMPP server database. I also plan on creating an external XMPP component written in Python, using SleekXMPP . It will be this external component that does all the ‘work’ of the server, as the application I’m making is quite different from instant messaging. For this part I have not worked out how to connect an external XMPP component written in Python to a Tigase server. The documentation seems to suggest that components are written specifically for Tigase - and not for a general XMPP server, using XEP-0114: Jabber Component Protocol , as I expected. With this extra information, if you can think of anything else I should know about I’d be glad to know. Thank you :)
