  We all know that ejabberd is cool and erlang is extremely scalable. Facebook even decided to use erlang for their new chat system! Even with all of that, I want to write about an alternative. :) I am not gonna compare numbers and benchmarks. This post will lack data and statistics for all of that. I am just gonna describe a system thats implemented, in production, and works well. It is the story of the BOSH Cloud.
  
  First, XMPP is a standard protocol for presence based applications, namely IM chat. It is growing in use, even as I type this blog entry. Web based chat can be done using XMPP with some help. The help comes from an extension to the XMPP standard called BOSH. BOSH solves the problem of implementing something that requires state, over a stateless protocol like HTTP. (Ejabberd has a BOSH implementation) Anyway, the question is, 'what is a BOSH Cloud?'
  
  The answer is that it is a set of Amazon Ec2 instances used to provide a scalable BOSH connection manager. You have a HTTP load balancer up front and you can create as many BOSH instances based on your scaling needs on the back end.
