We intend to release new versions as we fix bugs and land significant features. - Dendrite supports database schema upgrades between releases. This means you should never lose your messages when upgrading Dendrite. -- Breaking changes will not occur on minor releases. This means you can safely upgrade Dendrite without modifying your database or config file. This does not mean: - Dendrite is bug-free. It has not yet been battle-tested in the real world and so will be error prone initially. - Dendrite is feature-complete. There may be client or federation APIs that are not implemented. -- Dendrite is ready for massive homeserver deployments. You cannot shard each microservice, only run each one on a different machine. +- Dendrite is ready for massive homeserver deployments. There is no sharding of microservices (although it is possible to run them on separate machines) and there is no high-availability/clustering support. Currently, we expect Dendrite to function well for small (10s/100s of users) homeserver deployments as well as P2P Matrix nodes in-browser or on mobile devices. -In the future, we will be able to scale up to gigantic servers (equivalent to matrix.org) via polylith mode. +In the future, we will be able to scale up to gigantic servers (equivalent to `matrix.org`) via polylith mode.
