Is it possible to create own implementation of socket.io server side code?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
That's an incredibly high rate of messages. What could you possibly need that many messages for? I'm in no way surprised that generic solutions don't work for your case.
This: https://map.couple.me We kept the design simple, otherwise a "batching" mechanism could be introduced that would replay a single batch of 50 messages but that would make everything a second delayed. However, part of the map allows you to login and see your messages live on the screen as you're sending them to your partner and for that the real time streaming is pretty critical.
I've since switched to SockJS for all of my projects (after struggling with memory issues in Socket.io 0.9.*). Any compelling reasons to give Socket.io another try?
The new engine.io module used behind the scenes is amazing. It will start with long polling, and upgrade to WebSockets seamlessly (so you get a very fast start every time, even in old browsers or proxied envs). AFAIK, this is the opposite of what was happening previously (trying WebSockets, then falling back to long polling). Engine.io is also much more scalable and robust. Disclaimer: I work at Automattic, we've bee…
This seems like a good place to ask: Does anyone know of a library (preferably C++/Emscripten) that simplifies using WebRTC to create real time network games?
I looked for a library for a similar WebRTC project. All of the libraries I found contained superfluous functionality, as I was only interested in data channels and did not want to be locked in by a particular third party. I ended up rolling my own; the WebRTC API is simple enough [1] and there is some example code from Google that points the right direction [2]. Additionally, Socket.io makes for a convenient signall…
A kind of OT question related to socket.io. I am trying to develop an application that can be horizontally scaled. I understand using the socket.io-redis package seems to allow you to emit to a particular socketid from one instance while that connection itself is connected to another machine and the redis connection will take care of the communicating. This in a sense abstracts away the fact that there are multiple s…
