pusher-http-php VS pusher-js

If you don't mind a third-party service Pusher PHP is a popular option. Would send the event using PHP with this. Then the Pusher JS Library to handle that data on the front end. Probably the easiest.

Thanks! Documentation is straight forward. However there seems to be a problem with Pusher.

Now let's push the notification to pusher. First you have to go to https://pusher.com/ login create an app an get API keys. Then fill them in your .env file

another tool is pusher but have a high cost https://pusher.com/

Pusher specializes in realtime WebSockets and offers a straightforward way to integrate realtime features into your React app. It's a reliable choice for apps that need to send notifications based on realtime events.

why are you considering building your own websocket service instead of using something like https://pusher.com/ ?

IVS offers chat rooms, but Kick doesn't seem to use them. All chat messages are sent over a websocket connection to Pusher. Pusher seems pretty cheap for the purpose.

Serveless Websocket service

Is it possible to use Supabase as a Pusher alternative?

if you are on time, since it is a coursework, and it is allowed to use some libraries, you can check how to use pusher it should be fairly easy for you too integrate to your application.

I've built a flutter web chat using flutter_chat_ui and dart_pusher_channels, for the backend I used soketi which is an open source node.js pusher replacement but you could just use pusher.com if you can squeeze into their free tier.

What? No. Takes 5-10 minutes to set up a websocket server manually or is just requires a few configuration variables to be set if using a hosted service like Pusher.
