• @rabbx/ws – WebSocket for Node/Bun/Deno/Workers in 9KB, zero deps
  1 project | dev.to | 6 May 2026

  Why: 9KB vs 1.2MB - ws pulls 14 deps. socket.io-client is 85KB gzipped. This is 9KB total. Zero deps - No debug, no safe-buffer, no ultron. Just EventTarget and WebSocket. Same code everywhere - new RbxSocket(url) works in Node 20, Bun, Deno, Workers. No if (isBrowser) branches. Cold starts matter - On Cloudflare Workers, importing ws costs 120ms. This costs 8ms. That’s the difference between 50ms and 170ms TTFB. star us help us grow github
