pusher-js VS turbo-django

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.

Indicative of how marvelously stable Django is that none of these roadmap items have to do with the software.

I came back to the old workhorse for some experimentation recently and was delighted, delighted (!), I tell you, at how familiar, comfortable, and productive it was.

Started exploring a Turbolinks/Turboframes implementation (https://github.com/hotwire-django/turbo-django) that Just Worked. Amusingly, mid-hack, the repo owner marked it as unmaintained.

But it works! Nothing needs doing! Another victim of the cult of constant improvement.

Yes Turbo is created by the team behind Ruby on Rails and it's an evolution of Turbolinks with bunch of other functionality added. But Turbo can be adapted to other languages and backend frameworks (and already has!). This Turbo thing is not Rails specific.

If you would like to try something different, there is this new thing called hotwired: https://github.com/hotwire-django/turbo-django Basically, it's about generating HTML on the backend and pushing it to the frontend. thru WebSockets. It's not production-ready yet (for Django at least) so it's more like a fun fact for now.
