Poxa is an open-source Elixir server implementing the Pusher protocol, compatible with existing Pusher client libraries. It supports public, private, and presence channels, client events, and a REST API, and can be self-hosted or run via Docker.
Use cases
- self-host a Pusher-compatible realtime server
- replace Pusher with an open-source pubsub backend
- run websocket channels for presence chat apps
- develop locally against Pusher client libraries without Pusher
- broadcast events to browsers over websockets
When to choose
- you already use Pusher client libraries but want to self-host the server
- you need public, private, and presence channels with client events
- you want a lightweight Elixir/Erlang realtime pubsub service
When to avoid
- you need Pusher's full managed features like scaling, analytics, or SLAs
- you need a horizontally clustered multi-node pubsub out of the box
- you don't want to run your own realtime infrastructure
