Jitsi scaling and performance service

Updated By the Jitsi Help engineering team

Short answer

We find your Jitsi server's real limits with load tests, then scale it: more videobridges behind one signalling server, regional bridges near your users, autoscaling that adds and drains bridges safely, and monitoring that shows bandwidth, CPU and call quality. You get a capacity report and a system that grows with demand.

What you get

  • Load test with a written capacity report
  • Configuration review: ports, resolution caps, instance types
  • Additional videobridges, optionally per region
  • Autoscaling with safe scale-in (drain before terminate)
  • Prometheus and Grafana monitoring and alerts
  • Runbook for your team

Typical timeline

Scaling Jitsi is less about bigger machines and more about the right architecture: one signalling layer, many videobridges, and an honest measure of what each one can carry.

Our approach

  1. Review. We look for the configuration problems that masquerade as capacity problems.
  2. Measure. Load tests with realistic meetings, reported as participants and meetings per bridge.
  3. Scale out. Extra bridges, regional placement, and autoscaling that drains a bridge before removing it.
  4. Observe. Dashboards and alerts for bandwidth, CPU and quality.

The concepts are covered in our scaling guide.

Frequently asked questions

How do we know we need to scale?

Choppy video or dropped participants at peak times, bandwidth near your server's limit, or plans to host much bigger meetings. We start with a review, because many of these are configuration problems that do not need more servers.

Do you use Kubernetes?

Only if you already run it. For most teams, videobridges on plain virtual machines in an autoscaling group are simpler and more reliable for UDP media.

Stuck, or would rather not do this by hand?
