AnyCable

Realtime server with delivery guarantees for any backend

About AnyCable

AnyCable is a realtime WebSocket server written in Go that adds delivery guarantees, presence tracking and message ordering to web and mobile applications. It works alongside Rails, Laravel, Node.js, Python or any backend through an HTTP pub and sub API, and connections survive application deploys. Teams can run the free open source edition, use the managed service, or license the Pro edition for on-premise deployments at larger scale.
