[question] Multi region Centrifugo Setup

[bartvanvliet]

Hi!

Would love to learn more about deploying Centrifugo in a multi region setup, was thinking about deploying it to the US, EU and ASIA.
I've read that it connects to a Redis instance, so maybe it would be possible to connect it with Amazon ElastiCache for Redis - Global Datastore, but I'm not familiar with how the latency will be globally.

Do you have any examples of deploying it in such a way?

Thanks,

Hello, personally I never had experience with this, so can't provide any valuable input. I think the task of landing users to closest Centrifugo node is solvable with modern cloud provider infrastructure, but regarding node-broker communication layer and latency – that's a good question.

Centrifugo should work fine with Redis-compatible data stores - which provide compatible PUB/SUB and Stream data structure. Seems that ElastiCache provides support for both - so should be possible to run with it.

Let's keep this open for some time if we have Centrifugo users who solved this and who can share some information.
