This is very reasonable.

Ultimately any choice you make is a kind of gamble.

I like pair but they seem to be over promising. It seems quite hyped.

From my experience P2P is tempting but always comes back to bite you, either through lack of scaling, or edge cases, or just doing strange things to your network and router. So if you are brave then you can try it, but long-term reliablity may be an issue.

I’ve not had any problems yet. We will see. The good thing is my application doesn’t necessitate it. We are already thinking about how to do a “just in case” connection method. Although we aren’t sure how necessary it will be. The Pear stack has been incredibly reliable for us though. Certainly far more so than the plethora of other connection methods that seem to be touted as “solutions” have been in my experience.

Not sure what overpromising you are referring to unless you just mean Keet specifically. That app has some work still needed despite the fact that I love it, but what we need for project isnt Keet related. Just needs Pear to work and so far so good. Fingers crossed.
