Socket.IO

Socket.io is used as our current multiplayer engine. The existing engine is very simplistic and only utilizes the websocket+http fallback transports and serves as a generic world/zone/screen grouping mechanism for displaying users to each other. Socket.IO

Used for sending real-time updates to connected browsers; to give real-time feedback about e.g. messages assigned to you, resolves in the inbox, etc. Socket.IO

Everything on Zube happens in real-time. We hooked Socket into all of our models. Socket.IO

We use socket.io to power Ayedeals business. More specifically for real time analytics. Socket.IO

Where we have browser support (recent Chrome, Firefox, and Safari), we make a WebSocket connection so that the server can push changes made by other people down to browsers listening on the appropriate channels. We use a modified version* of the Socket.io client and server libraries that allows us to keep many thousands of open WebSockets on each of our servers at very little cost in terms of CPU or memory usage. So when anything happens to a board you’re watching, that action is published to our server processes and propagated to your watching browser with very minimal latency, usually well under a second.
