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
