2000 voter maximum #11

Closed aricooperdavis closed 4 years ago

Hi Stéphane et al.,

The belenios.loria.fr implementation has an upper limit of 2000 voters but there is no mention of this that I could find in the documentation on the website.

Many thanks for your help, Ari

What is the reason for this upper limit?

I would say testing. Our load testing says this limit could be around 5000 in our setting. We are (kind of) limited by mail sending anyway, so we did not really try to raise it.

Is it possible to overcome this limit by downloading and compiling belenios on your own server?

Yes. It is a configuration setting. I would advise you to do your own load testing in this case.

Hi Stéphane,

Thank you for your reply.

When you mention load testing are you concerned that the mail server won't be able to deliver those emails simultaneously?

Many thanks, Ari

No, the load testing was done without sending mails. By "limited by mail sending", I meant that the mail server we use (which is not under our control) limits us in the amount of mails we can send. Mails do not need to be delivered simultaneously.
