Is this proxy capable of handling multiple Asterisk instances at the same time ?

danjenkins commented 7 years ago

No, you run one proxy instance per Asterisk

faressoft commented 7 years ago

So do you have any recommended suggestions about handling that ? Is there any projects or approaches to take care of scaling the asterisk part.

danjenkins commented 7 years ago

@faressoft you run this on each Asterisk host, and this proxy then connects to a NATS message bus (or AMQP) and you send the messages to your end application through the message bus (you can then use a library that understands the proxy message such as the go-ari-library or the .net lib)

@danjenkins Great, so what is the reason to do that, comparing to just connecting to the asterisk's WebSocket directly from my application ? I know that asterisk has a limitation of the connected applications to just one on the socket. Do you mean that with the proxy approach I can subscribe to the messages by running multiple instances of my applications (Scaling on the level of the end user application) (Publish/Subscribe pattern) ?

yeah so you can have multiple asterisks (each with their own proxy instance) and then those all connect to a message bus, and then your application can have one or many of your application - now your application(s) can receive calls from any of the Asterisks, not just one

Check out my talk from Astricon to help explain things :) http://www.slideshare.net/danjenkins/astricon-2016-scaling-ari-and-production-66568148
