## What it is
Soketi is an open-source, Pusher-compatible WebSockets server built on uWebSockets.js for Node.js. It enables self-hosted real-time event broadcasting with high performance and low resource usage.

## Use cases
- self-host a pusher-compatible websocket server
- broadcast real-time events to frontend apps
- replace pusher to save costs
- run local websocket server for development
- handle thousands of concurrent websocket connections
- add realtime chat or notifications to an app

## When to choose
- you want Pusher protocol compatibility without Pusher pricing
- you need a fast, lightweight self-hosted websocket server
- you want unlimited connections on cheap infrastructure
- you use Laravel Echo or Pusher client SDKs

## When to avoid
- you need a fully managed service with SLAs
- you don't want to operate your own infrastructure
- you need Socket.IO-specific features rather than Pusher protocol

## Facets
- artifact type: service
