Now that our NATS server is running, we'll be using Go and Node.js clients to connect to it for simple demonstration. Not familiar with Go or Node? Don't worry NATS has clients available in over 40 languages!

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

What is the best way to write a dedicated server?
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.

Centrifugo v4 released – with own WebSocket emulation layer, optimized client protocol, unified SDK behavior, experimental HTTP/3 and WebTransport support
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.

How would I automatically update how much users are signed up for each group?
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.
