Review on SocketCluster by Wendell Chapman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Allows smooth hosting for large scale Socket App development

The socketcluste allows me to host my chat app (and other apps) in one place, so I can update them easily without having to worry about whether they're online or offline at all times! It also has some really handy tools that allow you do things like limit access per user/group of users as well as set up your own custom roles within it which makes managing permissions very easy - there's no need anymore to use third-party libraries such as Firebase Auth / Google auth etc., just manage everything from our server itself!! Some more features are desired but definitely worth trying out this product if any similar problems exist when working with multiple projects simultaneously :). We run several applications using nodeJS stack where we have clients connecting through sockets and communicating across different servers hosted by us. Using this cluster tool helped tremendously since now whenever updates happen its reflected almost instantly among each application rather than waiting minutes after updating client side.

Pros
  • Stable & reliable service; highly configurable.
  • Easy integration options for PHP frameworks i'm currently building an ecommerce store via laravel framework alongwith react frontend webapp hence was looking forward getting something stable instead running php scripts directly locally while developing new functionality.i think their API is pretty good too :)
Cons
  • Lackluster documentation could be better explained how certain aspects work
