gateway VS Mercure

Probably 4 or more years ago I started a project aimed at microservice architecture for Discord bots. One of the few concrete successes of my efforts has been a gateway application which aims to abstract the Discord gateway logic away from users' applications. Although my efforts have been more on an application level rather than a library level, it seems we've arrived at similar conclusions :)

Are you aware of things like websockets and mercure.rocks?

It could be implemented with STOMP, or Mercure (goes well with API-Platform, written in PHP/Symfony), you could write your own with the help of nchan and scale it via Redis. If it's a web service, the best practices for operating and scaling are well established, Godot then just becomes another client.

You can try https://mercure.rocks/.

It's worth looking at something like Mercure , which is used by API Platform

Pusher might be one of these systems, Mercure is another one (which you can host yourself). Mercure has good documentation and some examples in various languages, including PHP: https://mercure.rocks/docs/ecosystem/awesome#examples.

You can use Mercure https://mercure.rocks/ , Mercure uses http2.

I actually was thinking about this when I saw https://github.com/dunglas/mercure project to become a Caddy plugin. But I did not find enough reasoning to try this with Centrifugo at that point, and still... Seems awesome from one side - tight integration with a web-server, no extra network between LB and Centrifugo. But will this be useful in practice and find its users? 🤔 That's the question I don't have an answer yet.

Polling is kind of ok (data might change between poll events), but real-time updates are better. So If you don't mind adding an extra service, then take a look at mercure.

Two more questions: - Am I to understand The Guild now recommends GraphQL Yoga over Helix? - Could something like Mercure be included in the recipes ? (this would be a nice solution for serverless)
