SocketCluster is a highly scalable realtime pub/sub and RPC framework for Node.js, with a CLI tool for scaffolding apps and deploying them to Kubernetes. It supports JWT authentication, middleware-based access control, and stream backpressure monitoring.
Use cases
- build a realtime pub/sub server in nodejs
- add websocket rpc to my app
- scale websocket connections horizontally on kubernetes
- scaffold a realtime node app boilerplate
- push live updates to millions of channels
- authenticate websocket connections with jwt
- monitor websocket message backpressure
When to choose
- you need a scalable websocket pub/sub and RPC layer in Node.js
- you want built-in JWT auth, middleware, and Kubernetes deployment for realtime apps
- you need fine-grained message ordering and backpressure control
When to avoid
- you only need simple REST APIs without realtime messaging
- you want a framework with a large active ecosystem and frequent updates
- you need non-JavaScript server-side support
