I want to know how many exact concurrent users EJabberd can support . Currently we have openfire as our XMPP server and we are considering to migrate to Ejabberd as in future our number of concurrent users will increase and Ejabbered is more robust in production environment . But one drawback is Ejabberd is written in
Erlang and what if we want to modify as we donot have Erlang expert .
In short we want to make comparison Open fire and Ejabberd in terms of number of concurrent user handling , robustness and ease of configuration and maintenance, extensible and which one is more suitable on production environment
Looking for ejabberd docs?

Ok that is good . What about

You can easily host ejabberd on Azure, but you will need to use an Azure Linux instance.
