7 Useful JavaScript Libraries To Build a Real-Time Web App
Deepstream is an open-source library for real-time web application development. The library, which is built with Node.js and Engine.io, helps developers build frontend web applications that perform real-time updates while requiring minimal backend code.

Ask HN: Who Wants to Collaborate?
I'm working on a few projects, from one/two days to platforms.
The first is OS and is a simple nodeJS environment to deploy applications via lambda and express quickly. Sort of like nestJS except less decorators and more functional (https://vramework.io/). I already know of a few other colleagues that rolled their own propriety versions of this to support enterprise and cloud deployments so decided to OS it.
The other OS project is a strongly typed postgres/mysql driver. The idea is to generate typescript definitions directly from postgres (https://github.com/vramework/schemats) and then have a think layer ontop of pg-node that gives you strongly typed queries (https://github.com/vramework/postgres-typed).
An open-source project I spent a few years on the core team is https://deepstream.io/, a realtime-server that allows you to mix and match multiple streaming protocols (mqtt/websocket/others) and allow those clients to talk to each other using pub-sub and records. I'm not longer working for it but wanted to give it a shout out!
On a non OS project, I have been working on an immersive audio platform for a while now. The main goal is to allow users to pick and choose how audio books progress, and also have a live session mode which allows users to record their pulse / answer questions and a few other metrics and associate it with sentences. I pretty much built and deployed all of it but require some advice/brainstorming on how to proceed now. I built it to satisfy an itch when I was practicing shamanism during the first lockdown when I was in-between contracts / taking time off.
I also want to build a simple web-pages strategy game based around eco-education, but don't have the bandwidth . If anyone is interested in mixing together gamification and eco-village building might be a fun conversion to bounce ideas!
All the OS projects above were used to support my personal/a couple professional projects over the last few years.

Crossbar.io – an open source platform for distributed and microservice apps
https://deepstream.io is the closest and has a richer feature set (including a replicating document store), however it seems to have a small ecosystem / community / limited support options, and permissions do not seem as advanced.
https://nats.io is close but lower level. Has a large community and rich ecosystem however.
Then you can also mix and match lowever level technologies to achieve the particular set of tradeoffs you need. MQTT, AMQP as the protocol, mosquitto / rabbitmq/zeromq, then json-rpc on top ...

Which self hosted Pub/Sub realtime technology (websockets etc) do you use and why?
I can find socket.io, faye, deepstream.io , autobahn-js and nchan, centrifugo. Can you also explain why you chose it and if you had troubles with some other solution?
- Some good example projects

Website Search Hurts My Feelings
There are actually plenty of non-ES products that are way easier to integrate and tune (and get better results with less effort).
- Typesense (https://github.com/typesense/typesense)
- Algolia
- Google Programmable Search Engine (https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/about/)
- Remote Machine Learning and Searching on a Raspberry Pi 5

DNS record "hn.algolia.com" is gone
If you like your penny take a look at Typesense https://typesense.org/ - nothing to complain here. Especially nothing complain about pricing.

Vector databases: analyzing the trade-offs
I work on Typesense [1] (historically considered an open source alternative to Algolia).
We then launched vector search in Jan 2023, and just last week we launched the ability to generate embeddings from within Typesense.
You'd just need to send JSON data, and Typesense can generate embeddings for your data using OpenAI, PaLM API, or built-in models like S-BERT, E-5, etc (running on a GPU if you prefer) [2]
You can then do a hybrid (keyword + semantic) search by just sending the search keywords to Typesense, and Typesense will automatically generate embeddings for you internally and return a ranked list of keyword results weaved with semantic results (using Rank Fusion).
You can also combine filtering, faceting, typo tolerance, etc - the things Typesense already had.

Obsidian Publish full text search
I haven’t used Publish, but I’d assume you could use something like https://typesense.org/ to index and search the vault.

DynamoDB search options
A cheaper option would be to use https://typesense.org. You can use DynamoDb streams to automatically load records. It has worked well for me.
