The separate components of Jitsi make it quite clean to scale and customise though. A monolith doesn't seem superior except for the very smallest deployments where simplicity is key.
- Monotoko 5y agoI made quite a bit of money as a freelancer at the start of covid setting up Jitsi servers for clients - it isn't easy... especially when you start to have multiple servers etc
- jhugo 5y agoIt's true that it's complex, but the complexity is easily managed with modern tools. It fits very neatly into k8s for larger deployments, for example.
- jech 5y ago> A monolith doesn't seem superior except for the very smallest deployments True. Galene is designed to encourage small deployments: it's a single binary that is simple enough and cheap enough so that every high school can have their own instance and not rely on an external IT team. For large deployments, where accidental complexity is not as much of an issue, you'd most probably want to use some more complex and more flexible software.
