Websocket scalability

Question

I looked around websites a bit and I have a pretty specific question: Can websockets actually scale on different servers or are they always limited to one single server?

This seems to be a problem that I have repeatedly encountered in the documents I found, but maybe they were incomplete or things developed. It seems, for example, since the hero does not even support websites at all (?)

Answer 1

Clustering must be supported by the server solution that you are using. Kaazing (the company I work for) offers sophisticated clustering , which is used by most of our customers.

As for scalability: this white paper: The Fastest Million “Via the Internet with Kaazing, Dell and Tibco” - describes the test results that you can achieve with clustering. The document discusses the architecture according to which 43 Dell R620 rack servers, each of which works with Kaazing WebSocket Gateway, can scale up to 1,000,000 + simultaneous connections, 10 messages per second with an average delay of 3.5 m.

Answer 2

It depends on your application, but, as a rule, there is no reason why you cannot download websocket connections from balance to several computers in the same way as any other TCP connection.
