Why messaging is much better than REST for inter-microservice communications
Interesting how this feature set is pretty much exactly the same as offered by SocketCluster https://socketcluster.io/

Looking for real-time message solution recommendations
The two best lightweight solutions I have worked with are SocketCluster and NATS. SocketCluster is used to build out a custom backend that scales very well. NATS would be used as a central pub/sub system. If you need queueing, you'll need to add additional services like Redis.

Top WebSocket libraries for Node.js in 2022
At the time of writing, SocketCluster has almost 6k stars on GitHub and 7k downloads on npm weekly,
SocketCluster is a highly scalable framework and a real-time HTTP server engine that enables you to build multi-process, real-time servers using all of the available CPU cores at once. With SocketCluster, the backend avoids running the Node.js server as a single thread, working more efficiently and remaining resilient.

SocketCluster. The most underrated framework. Part 1: Intoduction
SocketCluster is a framework which allows you to use the WebSocket protocol the transmit between its backend API and client library. The client can be used both on a backend (E.g. a Raspberry pi) or frontend application.

We Improved Reliability of Our WebSocket Connections
Indeed it does! https://github.com/primus/primus/blob/a7ba7249cb0205a01629da...
I do wish we didn't all have to reinvent this wheel though…
What are some alternatives?
When comparing SocketCluster and Primus you can also consider the following projects:
Socket.io - Realtime application framework (Node.JS server)
deepstream.io - deepstream.io server
SockJS - WebSocket emulation - Node.js server
Faye - Simple pub/sub messaging for the web
Straw - Realtime processing framework for Node.js
comfyui-mixlab-nodes - Workflow-to-APP、ScreenShare&FloatingVideo、GPT & 3D、SpeechRecognition&TTS
humanify - Add human touch to otherwise very machined node.js streams.
