What a surprise, the Rocket.Chat team leaving an open comms loop, even when there is potential to do a deal! As for the scalability, in a former life I helped implement a RC cluster for chat functionality in a web application. Way less than 500K users, and a maintenance nightmare. It’s unclear how much of this is to do with Meteor sucking as a platform, rather than RC sucking. They have been talking about moving away from Meteor for years, [Moving away from Meteor and beyond - #8 by rodrigo.nascimento](https://forums.rocket.chat/t/moving-away-from-meteor-and-beyond/3270/8) being an example, which, you guessed it, is left hanging in the air. Who knows if it will ever happen. I know where my money is. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.rocket.chat/t/rocketchat-scalability/11779)._
