a 10 active user Synapse should use about 1GB max, so unsure what’s up with the earlier post. The reason it’s currently so much heavier than XMPP is that resource usage scales with the size of rooms being participated in, not the number of connected users - and we aggressively cache those rooms in RAM. However, 100MB is a much more sensible target and we’re busy optimising to try to shrink things down.

It's actually not as bad as I remember (time made me think it's worse than it really is) - it's really only large rooms that feel slow. Oops.

I just guess the whole thing doesn't feel responsive. Messages sent take a while to sync between different clients, etc.

Maybe you want to see the preview of our work in progress? https://nayego.net/ Open Source, real Open Standards, mature technology, decentralised/federated/distributed, and a great UX.

Fit for orgs with external partners, providers, customers, freelances, remote and home office workers...

I might have missed something, but your website doesn't provide much information, and I've been unable to find any elsewhere (only an empty GitHub repository).

edit: btw, the number of comments you've made in this thread to “sell” your solution is… abusive?
