Why does Laravel need a "middleman" like Pusher or a separate Laravel Websockets server to be able to use Websockets?

  • laravel-swoole

    High performance HTTP server based on Swoole. Speed up your Laravel or Lumen applications.

  • I played around with https://github.com/swooletw/laravel-swoole years ago, and it worked for a simple site I made to learn. You really need a long running process like Swoole provides. I have switched our apps to Octane instead of laravel-swoole so I lost that.

  • octane

    Supercharge your Laravel application's performance.

  • I was hoping that Octane would add support, but the person running the Octane github is one of those people who quickly closes every issue that isn't considered a bug. So no traction is ever built up like on https://github.com/laravel/octane/issues/110 .

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
