  • Build a nice Realtime notification with Laravel Jetstream (InertiaJS / Vue 3 stack).
    Now let's push the notification to pusher. First you have to go to Https://pusher.com/ login create an app an get API keys. Then fill them in your .env file. - Source: dev.to / 4 days ago
  • A list of SaaS, PaaS and IaaS offerings that have free tiers of interest to devops and infradev
    Pusher.com — Realtime messaging service. Free for up to 100 simultaneous connections and 200,000 messages/day. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago
  • Chat system sockets vs ajax?
    Another tool is pusher but have a high cost https://pusher.com/. Source: 5 months ago
  • Custom vs. off-the-shelf React web notification systems: Which is better?
    Pusher specializes in realtime WebSockets and offers a straightforward way to integrate realtime features into your React app. It's a reliable choice for apps that need to send notifications based on realtime events. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago
  • Is this a viable approach to a chat microservice?
    Why are you considering building your own websocket service instead of using something like https://pusher.com/ ? Source: 10 months ago
  • Xqc says Kick could afford buying even more expensive services than Amazon's if they pull the plug
    IVS offers chat rooms, but Kick doesn't seem to use them. All chat messages are sent over a websocket connection to Pusher. Pusher seems pretty cheap for the purpose. Source: 10 months ago
  • Supabase as Pusher alternative?
    Is it possible to use Supabase as a Pusher alternative? Source: 11 months ago
  • Coursework using RESTful APIs
    If you are on time, since it is a coursework, and it is allowed to use some libraries, you can check how to use pusher it should be fairly easy for you too integrate to your application. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Adding live chat support for Flutter Web
    I've built a flutter web chat using flutter_chat_ui and dart_pusher_channels, for the backend I used soketi which is an open source node.js pusher replacement but you could just use pusher.com if you can squeeze into their free tier. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Two new official Laravel packages are coming: Laravel Folio & Laravel Volt
    What? No. Takes 5-10 minutes to set up a websocket server manually or is just requires a few configuration variables to be set if using a hosted service like Pusher. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Firebase vs. Supabase (vs. Both?)
    Ah - a good callout. No. You can setup a `subscription` model and use something like https://pusher.com/ to accomplish this, but it's more manual. Source: about 1 year ago
  • laravel activity feed
    Pusher is used for real-time communication. So you want to update the user's status in the admin panel, without reloading the page. That is no PHP question, but it might be PHP related (because you might want to trigger something with PHP upon update). Source: about 1 year ago
  • Notification Service Question
    They probably have their own socket servers. I'd recommend looking at something like https://pusher.com/. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Q: How do apps know (within seconds) that you got a notification? Like how does Gmail (without refreshing) know that I got a new email? Are they fetching every 15-30 seconds or is there another way
    Websockets tied to either a reception service in the backend or, more likely, linked to object changes. Have a look at https://pusher.com for a service which helps implement this. There are loads of ways of doing it but they explain it well. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Real time update from database in sveltekit
    Personally I use pusher for this purpose, I send events from the SvelteKit backend whenever I'm communicating with my database. Then in the client I listen to those events to update the UI when needed. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Trains New Streaming Platform Looks Awfully Familiar
    Pusher for most chat messages and real-time notifications. Source: over 1 year ago
  • free-for.dev
    Pusher.com — Realtime messaging service. Free for up to 100 simultaneous connections and 200,000 messages/day. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
  • What is the technical term for the notifications embedded on the site itself?
    I have a project that uses GetStream for in-webapp notifications. There are also alternatives like MagicBell and Pusher. All of these services do pretty much the same thing, the important part is that you don't have to design a realtime system for sending/aggregating/storing/receiving notifications yourself.

  • Daily General Discussion - August 29, 2022
    Just wanted to give everyone a heads up, Caches will be down for around an hour later today. I am going to go ahead push the beta test version of the end-to-end encrypted private messaging feature to the production box. I think it's mostly ready but I would like others to use it and provide feedback. It uses the pusher API, so now all Caches PM's will be end-to-end encrypted! Nothing stored with me or Pusher, just... Source: over 1 year ago
  • maturity of websocket protocoll vs. long polling (for socket.io)
    Socket.io would handle the fallbacks. Implement sticky session, only relying on websocket is a poor decision choice even in 2022. Alternatively, you can look into Pusher which basically provides socket as a service. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Websockets and PHP
    Unlike older versions of the web, modern JavaScript which can be ran in the browser offers two-way communication, so you can ping the server, and the server can ping you. The WS protocol is for JavaScript websockets. This allows the server to ping you. For example on stackoverflow, the server can ping you with a new message. This can be done without polling. That means you can keep the webpage open, and there's no... Source: almost 2 years ago

SignalR Alternatives
Pusher as a signal Alternative comes into the picture when it is simple and has free plans for the fallback of SSE to make the frame and log polling also available to the developers for troubleshooting as well.
