Mercure VS Socket.io

Are you aware of things like websockets and mercure.rocks?

It could be implemented with STOMP, or Mercure (goes well with API-Platform, written in PHP/Symfony), you could write your own with the help of nchan and scale it via Redis. If it's a web service, the best practices for operating and scaling are well established, Godot then just becomes another client.

You can try https://mercure.rocks/.

It's worth looking at something like Mercure , which is used by API Platform

Pusher might be one of these systems, Mercure is another one (which you can host yourself). Mercure has good documentation and some examples in various languages, including PHP: https://mercure.rocks/docs/ecosystem/awesome#examples.

You can use Mercure https://mercure.rocks/ , Mercure uses http2.

I actually was thinking about this when I saw https://github.com/dunglas/mercure project to become a Caddy plugin. But I did not find enough reasoning to try this with Centrifugo at that point, and still... Seems awesome from one side - tight integration with a web-server, no extra network between LB and Centrifugo. But will this be useful in practice and find its users? 🤔 That's the question I don't have an answer yet.

Polling is kind of ok (data might change between poll events), but real-time updates are better. So If you don't mind adding an extra service, then take a look at mercure.

Two more questions: - Am I to understand The Guild now recommends GraphQL Yoga over Helix? - Could something like Mercure be included in the recipes ? (this would be a nice solution for serverless)

Before diving into this tutorial, if you find microservices mysterious, check out my previous article for a detailed explanation. In this hands-on tutorial, we'll build a real-time chat server using Node.js, Socket.io, RabbitMQ, and Docker. Get ready for a practical journey into the world of microservices! Let's begin.

Socket.io Docs

Now we will be implementing socket logic using socket.io for building websockets. This library provides an abstraction layer on top of WebSockets, simplifying the process of creating real-time applications. For better maintainability, it is recommended to create a separate file for socket calls. To do this, navigate to the src folder, create a folder named services, and inside it, create a file named socket.ts under the services folder.

Hi I made a chat app using socket.io it worked fine locally but when i deployed the app on render.com socket is not working properly i have to refresh the page to see new messages please help...

Nextjs + socket.io.. Planning to use webrtc for video calls later

Implementação em Node usando Socket.io

I am using socket.io for real-time notification service. Previously my frontend part was deployed in Netlify and here the notification was not working properly as Netlify follows serverless architecture.

yes. Im running on DreamCompute currently. Discord.js and socket.io within same app. A dedicated server works too, but pricier.

No, not a library. More like, the frontend and backend just happen to need the same version to be compatible (socket.io is a good example, moment.js was the most basic I could think of).

For apps that require real-time communication, Socket.IO can be a valuable addition. It enables bidirectional, event-based communication between the server and client, making it an ideal choice for implementing real-time chat features.
