We aren't a very good representation of Mattermost hosting because it's basically unused other than few sporadic users at a time.

I'll happily volunteer info, but there's not much good I can say bout it's perf since largest userbase at once has been 5 users.

We run it on a 64-bit x86 vps server with 4g of RAM I get for cheap from Europe. It has an Openfire instance on the same box. Together at idle they use 400M of RAM. Both use MariaDB.

Feel free to ask questions but understand this is a bespoke setup and cannot be relied on for reliable metrics.

Thank you! It doesn't matter if you have 2 users or 2000, just being able to actually get answers from people rather than FAQ pages means a lot to me.

Have you ever had any problems with any parts of Mattermost failing? Any memory leaks or significant CPU spikes? I ran Rocket.Chat for about a year, and I found all three to be a chronic and constant plague.

I understand that Mattermost's free edition used to almost completely lack moderation and user controls. I know that has changed now, but have there ever been any features you've genuinely needed that have been locked behind paid licensing?

How well does the chat handle searching and scrolling through old messages? I have used Zulip in the past, and I noticed sometimes it would become extremely choppy when I did either.
