Scaling to users requires Synapse Pro
Nation-scale Matrix deployments will fail if built on the community version of Synapse. Huge deployments need a different architecture, which is what Synapse Pro delivers.
We held back a bit on the details because Synapse Pro is evolving rapidly with optimisations for scalability and availability in many different areas, so we wanted to wait before publishing quantified comparisons. However it is not remotely designed or intended for use by commercial Matrix hosting providers to serve huge nation-scale deployments such as public healthcare insurance companies, and it will fail when used at this scale. Nation-scale deployments need to ensure that development of the underlying Matrix protocol is well funded, rather than letting systems integrators freeride on FOSS in order to maximise their margin while giving nothing back to the community.
