Whatsmeow vs Baileys for 10K device scale? without sessions automatic logout issue and memory leak issue that is been in the baileys

[Pavan-Kumar-KN]

Hey all ,

i need help on this

whatsmeow package and is it good comparing to baileys ? for 10K devices ? and currently using baileys but facing lot of issues here like auto session logout so many are there

so i am searching for alternatives and i have spent 2 months on optimizing the baileys but not working as expected so i got to know about this package

is this whatsmeow good package than the baileys ?

the banning is not the problem for my clients they just need the working thing

so if anyone knows about this please let me know

I didn't try baileys.
But whatsmeow is really stable. We don't struggle with authentication, as it was with wwebjs, for example, when sessions crashed and we needed to reauthenticate everyone again and again.
Also it doesn't consume so much resources. CPU consumption decreased for 99%.
I think that the same with baileys.
According to information from chat gpt, whatsmeow is the best solution for production projects

We operate 1,000+ sessions across 3 Docker servers (pure customer support traffic). From our experience:

Stability: After moving to WhatsMeow, we stopped seeing the frequent “auto-logout” style issues we had before. Sessions stay stable for weeks as long as the store is durable.

Memory/CPU: WhatsMeow’s footprint has been predictable and low under support-style loads. No memory creep so far in long uptimes.

Scale note (10k): Hitting 10k is more about architecture than library choice:

Monitor metrics (connect/disconnect, retries, queue depth).

Both libs use the same Web protocol, so bans aren’t solved by switching libs. But for reliability and long-lived sessions, WhatsMeow has been solid for us.

@Romerito007 I need to clarify a few things:

• Where are you storing the credentials and keys?
• How are you redirecting the traffic to all three Docker services?
• Are the credentials and keys stored in any external storage (like Redis), so that all the Docker services can access them from there?
• Since the sockets are stateful, is a single user account running across all three instances, or does only one container maintain that session?

Previously, when I tried using ECS, each task created a new connection.

Could you please explain this ?

• if i do migration then is it worth i mean we are using baileys from last 4 years so if we migrated then again we don't have to migrate to some other packages that's why
