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

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

Very useful for push services over web sockets

It's very easy to use, doesn't require much configuration or setup beyond what you'd need with any other node server library (we're using it in combination w/ socketio). The built-in clustering functionality works great! If there were some way of connecting directly via URL instead I would be even happier; but that may not always make sense depending upon user needs / situation at hand so we'll stick within their API where possible :) Great option if your backend service requires realtime…

Pros
  • Easy cluster support
  • Very responsive team for customer issues
  • Good documentation
Cons
  • Nothing here
