Socketioxide is a Socket.IO server implementation in Rust built as a Tower layer/service, integrating with the Tokio and Hyper ecosystems. It supports namespaces, rooms, acknowledgements, binary packets, polling and WebSocket transports, and pluggable adapters for horizontal scaling via Redis, MongoDB, or PostgreSQL.

Use cases

• add socket.io realtime messaging to a Rust axum server
• build a websocket server compatible with the official socket.io client
• scale socket.io connections horizontally with redis adapter
• serve socket.io events from a hyper or warp service
• implement rooms and namespaces for chat in Rust
• emit binary packets over socket.io from Rust

When to choose

• you need a socket.io-compatible server in Rust
• your stack already uses Tower, Tokio, Axum, or Hyper
• you want tower-http middleware like CORS or auth on your socket layer
• you need horizontal scaling with Redis, MongoDB, or Postgres adapters

When to avoid

• you need a socket.io client rather than a server
• you want plain websockets without the socket.io protocol overhead
• your project is not Rust or not async/tokio-based
