> seems the many regions spread the potential users to thin. you probably want a stronger single server because connecting chats across multiple servers only makes your code more complex when your actual problem seems to be that you just need more ram or cpu. I checked ram and cpu with top when I was using a VPS, and it was basically nothing. (I didn't monitor it continuously, so maybe that was still the problem.) But you're right in principle, I should use one server. > alternatively consider using existing platforms like jitsi. the benefit of your site is not the implementation of the audio channels but the ability for HN users to find each other. But once people found each other, it's webrtc, it's p2p, so that shouldn't be a problem for the server.
