Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use Soketi to run your own WebSockets server for real-time applications. It works as a drop-in replacement for Pusher, letting you keep your existing code while hosting the infrastructure yourself. You can deploy it anywhere from a $5 DigitalOcean server to Cloudflare Workers. It handles unlimited connections, supports app management with custom credentials, and includes HTTP webhooks. You can scale it with Redis or NATS clustering and monitor it with Prometheus.
