  • Ratchet

    Asynchronous WebSocket server (by ratchetphp)

  • Have you considered using web sockets? Check out Ratchet PHP http://socketo.me/. Once the client and server make a connection your server can send notifications to the client while that connection is open.

  • php-sse

    A simple and efficient library implemented HTML5's server-sent events by PHP, is used to real-time push events from server to client, and easier than Websocket, instead of AJAX request.

  • Good call. Forgot about server side events! This package looks pretty good for SSE https://github.com/hhxsv5/php-sse

  • InfluxDB
