Hi,

Smartfoxserver "Scalability F.A.Q" says that:
Java extensions perform better than those written in Actionscript and Python. If you really want the ultimate performance, write your extension in Java

I have a chat application with reputation feature and several methods for users interaction. All logic is wrote in 2 extension files (about 20-30 functions total) on actionscript.

Could you provide me any idea how application capacity is increased if I move extension logic to Java?

Hello,

I'm pretty sure that the capacity of the number of users the server can handle will not be effected with actionscript or java.

Java extensions just provide tons/more options/features for your extensions.

Personally, i think java extensions actually put a bit more load on the server.

Thanks for the answer,

I have indicated that "SmartFoxServer-Clustering.pdf" document described solutions using Java. Have I any chance to use Terracotta+Smartfox solution with Actionscript server extensions?

I would like to build great system for tens thousand of concurrent users with great expansibility for further growing. Could you recommend me some basic approach for SmartFoxServerPRO + Terracotta?

We have discussed this topic quite a lot in these forums. I would recommend to use the search function. For example read here:

This is not possible because Actionscript Objects are not "portable" by Terracotta. Even if they were I wouldn't recommend it because these objects are way heavier than Java native objects.

The to go is definitely Java for very high scalability.

Thank you
