I made a documentation driven web-socket framework
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.

Which parts of JS to learn for user interaction with eachother?
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 💪

API Gateway pattern and WebSockets, how do they work together?
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.

What is the best way to build production-ready chat application?
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".

Need help with portfolio
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.

How to consume an array continuously without blocking the event loop?
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.

Getting "connection failed (403 Forbidden)" error while make connection to python-socketio(socket.io) from FastAPI
I wanted to make a connection on the socket.io so I used python-socket.io in the backend (FastAPI) and socket.io-client for the frontend(React.js) but I have been getting connection failed error (403 Forbidden).

i cant deploy my socket.io backend to heroku i get the following error (Error R10 (Boot timeout) -> Web process failed to bind to $PORT within 60 seconds of launch)
i dont know how to fix it, i set the port by: const io = require('socket.io')(3000), any ideas? i think i might have to set the port a different way in order to work on heroku

Is Python that bad in performance?
And I do recommend using socket.io over raw websockets handling. Way more handy frontend and backend side.

Top WebSocket libraries for Node.js in 2022
SockJS is a JavaScript library that provides communication between the client and the server in a way similar to the native WebSockets API. SockJS functions with a server counterpart in the form of sockjs-node and SockJS-client, a JavaScript client library.
What are some alternatives?
