Horizontal scalability ?
  • Hi everyone !

    I was wondering if WorldForge server system is supporting the horizontal scalability.

    Does anyone knows if ?
  • up !

    Maybe I wasn't very clear...

    In other words, I want to know if it's possible with WorldForge server part to connect multiple servers, so that they work as a single logical unit ? I think its about clustering and load balancing but I'm not sure...
  • Hi Nicotz,

    No, there is no current support for horizontal scalability, though great progress was made last summer towards supporting server sharding, and teleporting between servers.

    I think about clustering support a lot, but the load we are currently seeing on the live servers does not justify much effort on scalability while there are so many other projects to work on. Feel free to drop into IRC during the UK working day to chat to me about this subject if you are interested.

  • Ok thank you for your answer !

    And when does the UK working day start ? I went to irc://irc.worldforge.org yesterday but there was nobody :/
  • My working day typically starts around 10am UK time, and I work until 6:30pm UK time. I don't know where you are based, but it should be fairly simple for you to work out the time offset.
  • Ok, I think we have the same hours, I'm from France. I'll try to go to the UK IRC channel this evening.

    thx
  • I'm afraid I am rarely able to get onto IRC in the evenings, but I'll watch out when I can.

Howdy, Stranger!
