WebSockets Unlocked: Mastering the Art of Real-Time Communication
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.

Does the MERN app with socket.io work correctly in the Google app engine?
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.

Is it possible to run discord bots on Dreamhost?
yes. Im running on DreamCompute currently. Discord.js and socket.io within same app. A dedicated server works too, but pricier.

I've been working on this project for at least a decade...
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).

Supercharging Your App Development: Unleashing the Full Potential of React Native
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.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Primus and Socket.io you can also consider the following projects:
