sparrow-rtc VS ws

i've also just recently started working on multiplayer web game tech, so i've implemented websocket communication (using ws) in my experimental library renraku, which is the basis of the signalling server in sparrow-rtc, which is a peer-to-peer realtime communications library for our forthcoming project benevolent.games. if you're interested in the open source libraries, you could join our discord and i'd be happy to help you get setup, since they aren't quite yet documented :)

There are various libraries that let you create a ws server (similar to how express lets you create an HTTP server) https://www.npmjs.com/package/websocket https://github.com/websockets/ws https://socket.io/

Before setting up a WebSocket server in Node.js, we need to install the necessary dependencies. Fortunately, Node.js has a vibrant ecosystem with various WebSocket libraries available. In this article, we will focus on using the popular ws library, which provides a simple and efficient WebSocket implementation for Node.js.

WS has a user base of 17.7 million people and over 20,000 forks. It also has clear and concise documentation, with examples and API references, to help developers understand how to integrate it into their projects.

In order to implement websockets, you can use a nodejs library named ws. It provides a fast and simple way to establish a websocket connection.

Next, you can use a library like chokidar to listen for changes in your source directory. Create a ws server, and whenever a file changes, send a message.

I use redis, sequelize and PG Listen/Notify via Robust Listeners with a websocket server coded in ws

With over 19k stars on GitHub and about 60 million weekly downloads on npm, ws is one of the most popular open-source libraries for real-time web application development

Nest supports 2 websocket platforms - socket.io and ws. We're going to be using socket.io.

I'm trying out Render.com as a potential replacement for Heroku to host and run my code, which uses Node, Express, and the ws package to connect a game made on Godot Engine and the webapp, using a Websocket connection. However, when I migrated the code over, I've noticed that the game lasts barely a quarter of the way before the server aborts the Websocket connection for literally no reason. I'm serious, it's what the log says:
