websocket VS Socket.io

What I can say is that if you will use Gorilla Websocket (https://github.com/gorilla/websocket) (it's archived now unfortunately, but still super robust) - then you can go to sth like 15-20kb per connection - see https://github.com/FZambia/go_websocket_memory - to achieve this you need to reduce read buffer size, reuse write buffers, use goroutine after hijacking connection (following chat example in Gorilla WebSocket repo).

No Bugs? https://github.com/gorilla/websocket/issues Even if that were true at the time of stoping development, "No bugs" is something that can never be said for any software. I really wish this community stopped recomending to use abandoned libraries if only for the potential Security issues. A not maintained Library is a very lucrative target for vulnerability hunting.

The Gorilla WebSocket License says:

We'll be using WebSocket library: "github.com/gorilla/websocket" ❣️

package github.com/gorilla/websocket is not a main package

As for Websockets, (https://github.com/gorilla/websocket) it uses ws.NextReader() to handle heavy loads of connections.

I'm looking to build a game server that uses web sockets to communicate with clients, I've looked into some of the libraries and the main ones seem to be gorilla websockets and melody.

If this is what your import looks like "github.com/gorilla/websocket" that's wrong it should be just "github.com/gorilla/websocket"

Before diving into this tutorial, if you find microservices mysterious, check out my previous article for a detailed explanation. In this hands-on tutorial, we'll build a real-time chat server using Node.js, Socket.io, RabbitMQ, and Docker. Get ready for a practical journey into the world of microservices! Let's begin.

Socket.io Docs

Now we will be implementing socket logic using socket.io for building websockets. This library provides an abstraction layer on top of WebSockets, simplifying the process of creating real-time applications. For better maintainability, it is recommended to create a separate file for socket calls. To do this, navigate to the src folder, create a folder named services, and inside it, create a file named socket.ts under the services folder.

Hi I made a chat app using socket.io it worked fine locally but when i deployed the app on render.com socket is not working properly i have to refresh the page to see new messages please help...

Nextjs + socket.io.. Planning to use webrtc for video calls later

Implementação em Node usando Socket.io

I am using socket.io for real-time notification service. Previously my frontend part was deployed in Netlify and here the notification was not working properly as Netlify follows serverless architecture.

yes. Im running on DreamCompute currently. Discord.js and socket.io within same app. A dedicated server works too, but pricier.

No, not a library. More like, the frontend and backend just happen to need the same version to be compatible (socket.io is a good example, moment.js was the most basic I could think of).

For apps that require real-time communication, Socket.IO can be a valuable addition. It enables bidirectional, event-based communication between the server and client, making it an ideal choice for implementing real-time chat features.
