WebSockets: SocketCluster

topcloud/socketcluster · GitHub:

"SocketCluster is a WebSocket server cluster (with HTTP long-polling fallback) based on engine.io. Unlike other realtime engines, SocketCluster deploys itself as a cluster in order to make use of all CPUs/cores on a machine/instance - This offers a more consistent performance for users and lets you scale vertically without limits. 



SocketCluster workers are highly parallelized - Asymptotically speaking, SocketCluster is N times faster than any other available WebSocket server (where N is the number of CPUs/cores available on your machine). SocketCluster was designed to be lightweight and its API is almost identical to Socket.io."
