Increasing Concurrent Connections on Chatwoot for Live Stream
TLDR jegade has concerns about reaching the limit of 2000 concurrent connections on Chatwoot. sojan_official suggested there is no set limit and recommended scaling chatwoot horizontally by adding more nodes. Also gave a solution for loadtester blockage.

Mon, 23 May 2022 21:27:00 UTCI don't think we are enforcing any limits. with single app /worker server set up like the one describe in above post, you could face bottleneck for concurrent connections may be at nginx level or so on. If you anticipate high traffic you can scale chatwoot horizontally by adding more web and worker nodes. examples https://www.chatwoot.com/docs/self-hosted/deployment/aws/ https://www.chatwoot.com/docs/self-hosted/deployment/helm-charts/ https://www.chatwoot.com/docs/self-hosted/deployment/heroku we run our SaaS version on heroku and we have been able to server much higher traffic with that set up
