    Discontinued Socket.io server for Laravel Echo

  • Which of these do you use for your realtime Laravel applications? Soketi seems good but documentation doesn't seem that good. Laravel Websockets is mentioned in the official Laravel docs as a Pusher alternative,and Laravel Echo Server looks good but hasn't been updated for a year.

  • Centrifugo

    Scalable real-time messaging server in a language-agnostic way. Self-hosted alternative to Pubnub, Pusher, Ably. Set up once and forever.

  • Hello! Theoretically you can take a look at https://github.com/centrifugal/centrifugo - which is a standalone self-hosted real-time messaging server. It does not have native support for Laravel and not compatible with Pusher protocol, though integrating with any backend system, including Laravel: see the blog post https://centrifugal.dev/blog/2021/12/14/laravel-multi-room-chat-tutorial, also has some helper packages:

  • InfluxDB
