Persephone

Persephone is an experimental and WIP matrix homeserver written in C++20.

Goals

• Support specifically a server size of 25-1k users with 30-40 normal usage rooms per user.
  • This does not mean we will cripple performance if it's better than this.
• Allow upscaling easily
• Don't expose too many switches to the user via the config
  • One should be able to understand the whole config fully in less than 2 normal evenings.
  • One should not need more than home-admin understandings of concepts.
• There should be tests from the start
  • Unit tests
  • Benchmarks
  • Fuzzing

Technology

The technology used will be:

• C++20
• Postgresql
• drogon
• snitch2
• ldns
• libev
• rabbitmq

Building

TODO. Bulk of it: Install ninja, meson and cmake and install drogon.
