We have been using it (0.4.1) since it came out, and really cannot say enough good things about it. We were able to cut down our socket server nodes by ~ 50%, and it is way more stable (both server wise and connection wise). Combined with AWS, it really has made life extremely easy.
Side note -- we use it under the node interface w/ SocketIO
Hi, can you elaborate please? I don't quite understand, thanks!
We use SocketIO as our main interface through NodeJS, and the websocket engine is uWS. The intermediary to communicate between servers is Redis. EC2 + ELB (the new application load balancer is slick) makes it scalable quickly.
They use it with NodeJS and SocketIO. (In another comment someone wrote they're using it with C++)
Any idea what the other implementation spent all that time on?
I've been using µWebSockets with libuv/from C++ directly and have been happy with the performance/API. Much simpler than the other C++ options we've tried.
