Independent, self-managed infrastructure Read the production requirements

Education stack infrastructure

Keep Moodle and BigBlueButton on the right kinds of servers

Moodle web workloads and BigBlueButton media workloads scale differently. Separate them so database traffic, backups and course activity do not compete with live WebRTC sessions.

01

Integrate without co-locating

Moodle can connect to the BigBlueButton API over HTTPS. It does not need to share the media server’s operating system, disks or CPU allocation.

02

Scale the classroom layer independently

Add BigBlueButton nodes behind Scalelite as concurrent classes grow while keeping Moodle’s own application and database architecture unchanged.

03

Own the operational boundary

BBBNode provides self-managed infrastructure for the BigBlueButton side of the stack. Moodle administration, plugin configuration and application support remain under your control unless separately scoped.

The operational reality

BigBlueButton capacity depends on how people use media. Hardware specifications help narrow the choice, but your own load test, monitoring and failure plan turn that choice into a production design.

Questions answered

What teams ask before ordering

Is Moodle hosting included?+

No. These plans focus on the BigBlueButton ecosystem. Existing Moodle platforms can connect to the deployed BBB API.

Do I need Greenlight when using Moodle?+

Not necessarily. Moodle can serve as the user-facing integration. Greenlight may still be useful for independent rooms or administration workflows.
