Relay runners: Which relay implementation are you running? What is your experience with this software?

nostream. Very smooth.
relay.snort.social is on my custom fork of nostr-rs-relay, improvements coming soon to upstream
Cool! In general, what did you improve? I'm running nostr-rs-relay myself but it is pretty hangry for some CPU cycles. It is a pretty busy relay though.
That fork uses postgres. The sqlite one can't handle concurrent loads that well
How many active connections? What’s your cpu load / how many cores? I serve about 200 concurrent and I’m about 20-30% of one core/vcpu. Majority of load is reads; sqlite shouldn’t balk at concurrency—using separate db just means you’re shifting some compute over to your database cores.
Can’t remember how to check for active connections on the VM. CPU load is constantly 100% on all four cores. Literally constantly.
Unique pubkeys over the last 30 days is 96297
sqlite> select count(distinct author) from event where kind = 1 OR kind = 0 OR kind = 4 AND first_seen > 1671577200;
96297
Running Nostream for relay.nostr.com.au. Was easy to get it up and running and haven’t had any issues with it so far.
Biased, but the latest 0.7.17 nostr-rs-relay is consuming <1 core and over 1k connections just fine, so I am pretty happy with it. (nostr-pub.wellorder.net)
