• How do you do WebSocket connections when you're doing SSR?
  1 project | /r/react | 22 May 2023

  Typically, you don't do websockets. There are some great products out there that give you the same capabilities. I recently started working with Pusher for my Remix applications and am loving it!

  2 projects | /r/reactjs | 17 Dec 2022

  According to Vercel's website SocketIO is NOT supported, however Pusher Channels is recommended in it's place. Not sure what it is, but it supposedly is supported by vercel and potentially can help.

• 7 Useful JavaScript Libraries To Build a Real-Time Web App
  4 projects | dev.to | 12 Dec 2022

  Pusher is a hosted service that makes it super-easy to add real-time data and functionality to web and mobile applications. It sits as a real-time layer between your servers and your clients. Pusher maintains persistent connections to the clients — over WebSocket if possible and falling back to HTTP-based connectivity — so that as soon as your servers have new data that they want to push to the clients they can do, instantly via Pusher.

  Then watchPosition from @react-native-community/geolocation is definitely the way to go. Here's a link to the example in their repo. This will constantly update the position state variable, which you can then send to a realtime service which other users are subscribed to and consuming. (Depending on your implementation, could be a websocket or some pub/sub service... I've worked with Pusher Channels before for something similar.)

• Best way to add chatting into my web app?
  2 projects | /r/django | 16 Jan 2022

  An easy way to start with is to use external Pusher channels service It requires 0 devops and everything works very well, for free at least at the beginning. However, like any external service, it can't scale without paying. "Pay as you grow".

• Tools for real-time stock app
  1 project | /r/nextjs | 28 Sep 2021

  I see that NextJS now recommends a pub/sub approach Vercel Support Your client will need to subscribe to the events from a 3rd party service like Pusher Channels and the Pub should be handled by a serverless function

• Centrifugo – scalable real-time messaging server. Handles WebSocket, EventSource, GRPC, HTTP-streaming and SockJS connections, manages channel subscriptions. Provides API to publish messages into channels. Integrates well with any stack.

  Centrifugo is very similar to pusher.com Channels product (https://pusher.com/channels) – but self-hosted. Also – somewhat similar to socket.io - but not a library, so can work with any backend. Centrifugo is pretty unique in terms of available features sum – so can't say that there is a direct analogue I've heard about - sth from one product, sth from another, sth unique. And of course there are alternatives which can do what Centrifugo can't since the market of real-time servers is quite big.
