I'm coding a Flex application and I have to choose a good backend configuration for my needs. ( real time data push )
I wanted to know if RTMP is better than Comet http long polling ?
In fact, I want to compare GraniteDS and Red5... Both are capable of data pushing but red5 uses RMTP, so in terms of performences, clustering, large amount of clients, which one is better ? GraniteDS ( with Gravity and maybe ActiveMQ ) or Red5 with his RTMP protocol ?
Another question is : in Red5, can we specify multiple end point ? ( to have a large scaling ). I know that we can scale a huge project with ActiveMQ and GraniteDS but I don't know about Red5...
As far as i understand, we can use GraniteDS backend to other clients than Flex ( like HTML/AJAX ) because it's Comet like... and RTMP concerns only Flex/flash client. Am I right ?
Thank you for your support !
