Socket.io VS Pusher

Go draw on this and see if we can build a cool painting over the websockets. The image will only go away when nobody is connected. Color pallets are randomly generated. I want to test the payload on this because it is still in development. The My first time using socket.io. I would love some advice on Active storage to build a cool time-lapse of drawing progressions.

Am stuck at integrating a database to handle my the users. I can only get the user id from socket.io and don't know what to do next. What db can I use to handle them, I'm creating a chatbot😁😪.

I'm thinking of building a game and have played around with Phaserjs, which I think is great. I was also curious about the WebGL conversion of a Unity game. Does anyone have experience with an application with a small/medium sized game with multiple players, maybe even some socket.io stuff? If so, I'd love to hear what the opinions are with Unity. :-)

For the technically curious, its made with socket.io, react and styled components.

The purpose of Asynction is to empower a specification first approach when developing SocketIO APIs in Python. It guarantees that your API will work in accordance with its documentation.

socket.io is probably a good first step into this as it's very straightforward to use and will introduce you to principles that you can use for more complicated things going forward 💪

However, being AWS, WebSocket implementation is the bare minimum, no retry, no resume, not compatible with socket.io JS framework you must use raw WebSocket API in JS and building own wrapper would take several weeks so I've looked at alternatives like Ably.

Basically I am working on the project where we need to built the chat application for the client in MERN stack. I am familiar with the MERN stack, and worked on multiple projects and React.js in general is the technology that I am working on for almost 2 years now. I now about Socket.io and watched a few courses on "how to build the chat app using socket.io and React.js".

Check out socket.io. Depending on where you are in your journey, it might be a little tricky, or it might be not too bad.

The forked process can send messages back to the parent process so you will still have access to the array and the socket.io instance. For example, API request finishes in the forked process then it sends a message to its parent and the parent handles the message accordingly.

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".

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 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.

Pusher is https://pusher.com/channels and is rate-limited on the Free plan.

Before we begin, Pusher Channels (or simply Pusher) provides real-time communication between Servers and Apps. We used it when building Brunch, and it really helped us improve the overall User Experience.
