I think this is fast becoming a stack of sorts - I just used it on an app and it scaled to 400 concurrent users beautifully.

4500000 users ! that's a lot. I thought that kind of stuff was for a niche. Looks much more promising all of a suddend ! thx for sharing.

Now scale it to twenty million concurrent users.

How well would this scale to a few hundred thousand users per day?

I'm writing an app that is likely to have, at most, a thousand users, for the next couple of years.

I'm testing it with 12,000 fake users.

It works great.

Wow... another multi-million user platform has just been born.

tclancy | karma 2711 | avg karma 2.8 · | 2022-11-18 15:03:16

Ok, now scale to a few hundred millions users in lots of languages.

I've always wondered how to scale this once you have thousands of active users?

cwkoss | karma 10969 | avg karma 2.94 · | 2023-06-20 12:50:52

With users growing 6x in a week, I imagine we'll start seeing a proliferation of clients in the coming months.

skisly | karma 6 | avg karma 0.55 · | 2013-06-13 14:45:04+00:00

It's good amount of users.

lambdaops | karma 25 | avg karma 0.93 · | 2014-11-05 22:52:46+00:00

Yeah, we'll do our best to scale this out a bit more. We prepped for 512 concurrent users, got plenty more.

SkyLinx | karma 341 | avg karma 1.24 · | 2021-05-23 18:12:57+00:00

Agree, that's not much. Since I submitted this I saw up to 2K concurrent users at some point when I was 1st. Would be nice to have this sort of traffic for a week! :p

They just scaled up by giving access to an additional 1mil users. Be patient… it’s not like it’s free or trivial to run something like this.

chatmasta | karma 18107 | avg karma 3.55 · | 2014-01-07 22:15:44+00:00

Nice. How long to get millions of users?

neves | karma 3406 | avg karma 2.48 · | 2020-03-24 00:04:11

We've more than 500 simultaneous users.

naturalauction | karma 377 | avg karma 2.73 · | 2022-07-18 17:17:52

It’s an app - about 200,000 daily active users.

prawn | karma 22119 | avg karma 2.96 · | 2011-02-06 23:59:30

Did you get many users? Still running it? Sounds interesting.

TaylorGood | karma 900 | avg karma 1.93 · | 2017-12-20 05:44:23+00:00

According to Twitter, they're in the ballpark of 500k concurrent users.

upen946 | karma 261 | avg karma 2.46 · | 2020-08-17 16:56:59+00:00

Hi, This is interesting. Also, just realized that it has about 24K users already. Good work!!

blissofbeing | karma 263 | avg karma 2.41 · | 2015-05-13 23:42:28+00:00

So basically they used pusher to scale to around 50,000 concurrent users.
