Re: [aerogear-dev] Large user base with Aerogear Unified Push

All, We have been evaluating Aerogear Unified Push and things are going well so far. But up until now we have only had a small numbers of users (in the tens) registering or requiring a push. We are looking at adding push functionality into one of our core products. Last time we did a major revision to our core product we had in the order of half a million users upgrade to the new version in the first 24 hours. Unfortunately I don't have stats to hand on the busiest hour during that period. If we add push to our Android and iOS versions of our application and a large proportion of our users accept the new permission in app we could be looking at hundreds of thousands of registrations in a day and tens of thousands in an hour. Note that we are not migrating from another provider so this will be a "cold start". So my questions are: - Has anyone used Aerogear at this sort of scale? (happy to talk out of band if you don't want to put your name out in a forum)

- What is the best deployment architecture to go for in this case?

- Similar to the above question - will Aerogear work nicely behind a load balancer?

- If there are multiple instances of the app running can it take advantage of read slaves if DB is a bottle neck?

- Has anyone done any sizing or transaction rates against AWS instances?

- Do any of the database back ends perform better or worse for this sort of on boarding?

Obviously once we get all of our users on we will want to push them some messages. So has anyone done pushes to hundreds of thousands of users using Aerogear?

What was the approximate time from the start to the end of the process? Note I've read JIRA and haven't seen much related to scalability except - https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AGPUSH-661 from http://lists.jboss.org/pipermail/aerogear-dev/2014-May/007793.html

I also note with interest that dealing with pushing messages at scale isn't without its challenges - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16352131/apple-push-notifications-in-bulk

Any help greatly appreciated. Regards, Michael PS - Assuming we do go with Aerogear we will happily write up our findings on how it ended up ;)
