Skip to main content CometChat on-premise on Kubernetes provides enterprise-grade orchestration for large-scale deployments requiring advanced features like multi-region active-active architectures, dynamic autoscaling, and service mesh integration.
When to use Kubernetes Kubernetes is recommended for deployments that meet one or more of these criteria:
Scale Requirements:
Monthly Active Users (MAU) exceeding 200,000
Peak Concurrent Connections (PCC) exceeding 20,000
Multi-region or global deployments with active-active failover
Advanced Features:
Dynamic autoscaling based on custom metrics (HPA/VPA)
Service mesh for mTLS and advanced traffic management (Istio, Linkerd)
GitOps workflows for declarative infrastructure management
Cloud-native operators for Kafka, databases, and other components
Operational Requirements:
Sub-50ms latency targets requiring sophisticated traffic routing
Compliance requirements demanding advanced security policies
Integration with existing Kubernetes infrastructure
Kubernetes vs Docker Swarm Feature Docker Swarm Kubernetes Recommended Scale Up to 200k MAU 200k+ MAU Operational Complexity Low High Learning Curve Minimal Steep Autoscaling Manual Advanced (HPA/VPA) Multi-region Manual setup Native support Service Mesh Not supported Native integration Ecosystem Limited Extensive Best For Mid-market, simplicity Enterprise, scale
Architecture highlights Kubernetes deployment includes:
Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) for automatic scaling based on CPU, memory, or custom metrics
Vertical Pod Autoscaler (VPA) for right-sizing pod resource requests
Multi-region active-active deployments with global load balancing
Service mesh integration (Istio, Linkerd) for mTLS, traffic management, and observability
Cloud-native Kafka operators (Strimzi, Confluent) for automated cluster management
Advanced security policies with Pod Security Standards and Network Policies
GitOps workflows with ArgoCD or Flux for declarative infrastructure management
