Laravel Reverb is a first-party, open-source WebSocket server for Laravel applications, built on the Pusher protocol. It integrates seamlessly with Laravel's event broadcasting and Echo, and supports horizontal scaling via Redis.

Use cases

  • add real-time WebSocket communication to a Laravel app
  • replace Pusher with a self-hosted WebSocket server
  • broadcast events to browsers in real time from Laravel
  • run a scalable WebSocket cluster with Redis-backed horizontal scaling
  • power live notifications, chat, and dashboards with Laravel Echo
  • host WebSockets on Laravel Forge or Laravel Cloud

When to choose

  • you use Laravel and want first-party, zero-friction real-time broadcasting
  • you want Pusher-protocol compatibility without Pusher's pricing
  • you need thousands of concurrent connections with Redis-based scaling

When to avoid

  • your stack is not Laravel/PHP
  • you need MQTT or non-Pusher WebSocket protocols
  • you prefer a language-agnostic WebSocket server like Socket.IO or Centrifugo
