Matrix. It's dangerous to go alone! Take this.
Matrix. It's dangerous to go alone! Take this.
One of the main methods for adding redundancy to Synapse Matrix is workers, which you can read into here. On top of that, with simple scripting you can set two servers to run the same master Synapse, such that when one goes down, the other spins up, so that updates and such have extremely low downtime. I'm vaguely aware of there being more you can do being those steps as well but I haven't looked further into it.
Dendrite, meanwhile, can be found here. They say it's in beta. I think it's a late Alpha. Dendrite's primary mode is "Monolith"; this will have many of the same scalability/balancing options that Synapse does. However the true benefit to Dendrite as I see it is the "polylith" mode where workers can swap around which worker is the master without any interruption of service. I do not think that Dendrite polylith works yet, but I might be wrong. I'll be looking at running it on a test server in January to see if it's time to upgrade from Synapse (and time to invest in 4-6 SBCs to keep three here and send 3 to 3 of my buddies to make my Matrix even more reliable).
