Server Scaling Resources
Sorry if this isn't the appropriate place for open ended stuff like this!
I'm curious - are there are any established resources (websites, wikis, blogs, groups) covering methods for scaling minecraft servers beyond a few hundred concurrent players (into the thousands)? I've been curious about a variety of things, including approaches for:
- hosting minigame networks
- maybe with K8s + Agones
- seems like hand-written systems are also common for more well established servers
- hosting large, 1000+ player (on the same world) survival servers seamlessly
- is Folia the state of the art for this?
- are there any new, lesser-known projects trying to tackle this stuff?
I understand some of this information is probably kind of behind closed doors since there's some money involved. I'm interested in consolidating information about this stuff so it's more approachable for everyone & getting an idea of what already exists so I don't reinvent the wheel.
