Looking for real-time message solution recommendations
The two best lightweight solutions I have worked with are SocketCluster and NATS. SocketCluster is used to build out a custom backend that scales very well. NATS would be used as a central pub/sub system. If you need queueing, you'll need to add additional services like Redis.
