I’m preparing to set up a APNS message server, and I was wondering if anybody has done any analysis on APNS server load that they would be able to share. Minimum server specs, maximum messages per second, anything like that.
Thanks!
edit: I’m planning to implement this with .NET, but info about any platform would be incredibly useful.
For my application (which has about 24,000 downloads) I am seeing an average of of about 1300 messages sent a day.
Those are low numbers, but then my client base isn’t that large either. But I figure I might as well contribute some info. 🙂
My notification provider is idle most of the time so there is MUCH more capacity available if I need it.
Its also using very little ram at this point (somewhere around 13 mb – I implemented my provider in Python and suspect most of that is taken up by the run time).
I am running on a Media Temple dv (specifically the Base configuration).
I haven’t extrapolated out the numbers to find what my theoretical maximum would be, but because of the niche market of my application its not something that worries me at this point. I have lots of capacity to scale with.
Hope that helps a bit.
