Faye

Our real time infrastructure is based on Go , Redis and the excellent gorilla websocket library. It implements the Bayeux protocol.

In terms of architecture it’s very similar to the node based Faye library. It was interesting to read the “Ditching Go for Node.js” post on Hacker News. The author moves from Go to Node to improve performance. We actually did the exact opposite and moved from Node to Go for our real time system. The new Go-based infrastructure handles 8x the traffic per node. #InMemoryDatabases #RealtimeBackendApi #ApplicationHosting #Languages #DataStores
