Hi HN, I'm the maintainer of xprem (previously expo-open-ota). It's an open-core, self-hosted solution to manage OTA updates for Expo apps. The server implements the expo-updates protocol ( https://docs.expo.dev/technical-specs/expo-updates-1/ ). The project started more than a year ago because I needed to ship a business app inside a highly secured network, so I had to run an "on-premise" OTA server for apps without open internet access. Since then the project has grown a lot, in particular with the addition of expo-observe support, so you can get your logs/metrics directly in your own server, stored in your own ClickHouse DB. I also spent a lot of time on performance: in a recent benchmark we simulated traffic from 1 million MAU on a single vCPU, with a p95 < 20ms at 1000 req/s (telemetry enabled). Benchmark : https://xprem.dev/benchmark (the data and the script to reproduce it are available in the repository).
