Centrifugo v4 released – with own WebSocket emulation layer, optimized client protocol, unified SDK behavior, experimental HTTP/3 and WebTransport support
4 projects | /r/golang | 20 Jul 2022

Centrifugo can use Nats as PUB/SUB broker. I also tried to use Jetstream to implement Centrifugo history/recovery semantics – unfortunately Jetstream does not fit us very well as streams must be created over a separate call to admin API, and it's not possible to iterate/paginate over Jetstream streams to be suitable to current Centrifugo message history and recovery semantics (I asked about support for this – unfortunately the issue was closed and required API not implemented - https://github.com/nats-io/jetstream/issues/266, suggested solution is far from optimal for our use case).
