## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: websocket, http-server, benchmarking
- domain: networking, performance, developer-tools
- platform: go
- tags: websocket-server, high-concurrency, case-study, gophercon, reference-implementation, linux, docker
