A reference implementation and case study from a Gophercon Israel 2019 talk demonstrating a pure Go server handling 1M+ WebSocket connections under 1GB of RAM. It is educational example code, not a production WebSocket library.

Use cases

• learn how to scale websocket connections in go
• understand os and runtime tuning for 1m concurrent connections
• study a high-concurrency go server example
• benchmark websocket connection capacity on linux
• reference for reducing memory per websocket connection

When to choose

• you want to learn techniques for massive websocket concurrency in Go
• you need a working case study accompanying a conference talk
• you are benchmarking or studying Go runtime and Linux tuning

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready websocket library
• you expect new features or long-term support
• you need cross-platform support beyond Linux
