Community Edition. Multi-instance setups

[aminov]

Hi, I’m using a self-hosted/self-managed Community Edition and deploying it on AWS with ECS. I’m running two instances connected to the same database.

Currently, I have to set DISABLE_DB_WATCHERS=false.

Am I correct in understanding that after the release of Rocket.Chat version 8, a paid Enterprise license will be required for multi-instance setups — meaning it won’t work anymore with the Community Edition?(even if i use NATS Transport or another solution)

Scalability being available just on Enterprise license of Rocket.Chat has been an aspect of the product for a while now (at lest since 7.0.0).
This is just being re-inforced as we moved to 7.7.0;

Overall: yes, with verion 8.0.0 an Eterprise license will be required for multi-instance setup.
Please check the page Rocket.Chat | Pricing for secure team collaboration for more details on what is available with Enterprise License.
