Number of concurrent client subscriptions
Hi everyone,
I am considering using Convex for a side project, an app to handle everything related to a TCG tournament. I'm particularly interested in the real-time aspect of Convex.
I expect a maximum of a few hundred concurrent users if this were to be used for an actual tournament, maybe a couple thousands if multiple tournaments are happening at the same time.
Most users (players) would only be receiving updates, while a few (referees and tournament organizers) might actually change the state of the tournament.
As I wouldn't earn money for this, at least not at first, I am only considering the free tier or self-hosted for now. I see the following on the Pricing page, but I don't know what that means: is it a measure of how many subscriptions can be handled at any given time, or is it a more abstract performance indicator?
Thank you in advance for your help!

hi! that's the number of concurrent executing queries mutations, not just idle "open websocket" connections. any of the convex editions (self-hosted, starter/free, pro) should be able to handle a few thousand concurrent sessions without much of an issue
just make sure you give your self-hosted image a couple of GB of RAM
Hello Jamie, thank you so much for the clarification!
