## Features
- **🚀 High Performance** - Handle 100K+ concurrent connections
- **🔄 Pusher Compatible** - Drop-in replacement for Pusher services
- **🏗️ Scalable Architecture** - Redis, Redis Cluster, NATS adapters
- **🛡️ Production Ready** - Rate limiting, SSL/TLS, metrics
- **⚡ Async Cleanup** - Non-blocking disconnect handling
- **📊 Real-time Metrics** - Prometheus integration
## Quick Start
### Docker (Recommended)
```bash
# Clone and start with Docker Compose
git clone https://github.com/RustNSparks/sockudo.git
cd sockudo
make up
# Server runs on http://localhost:6001
# Metrics on http://localhost:9601/metrics
```
### From Source
```bash
# Install Rust (if not already installed)
# Build and run
git clone https://github.com/RustNSparks/sockudo.git
cd sockudo
cargo run --release
```
## Basic Usage
Connect using any Pusher-compatible client:
```javascript
import Pusher from 'pusher-js';
const pusher = new Pusher('app-key', {
wsHost: 'localhost',
wsPort: 6001,
cluster: '',
forceTLS: false
});
const channel = pusher.subscribe('my-channel');
channel.bind('my-event', (data) => {
console.log('Received:', data);
});
```
## Configuration
### Environment Variables
```bash
# Basic settings
PORT=6001
HOST=0.0.0.0
DEBUG=false
# Default app credentials
SOCKUDO_DEFAULT_APP_ID=app-id
SOCKUDO_DEFAULT_APP_KEY=app-key
SOCKUDO_DEFAULT_APP_SECRET=app-secret
# Scaling drivers
ADAPTER_DRIVER=redis # local, redis, redis-cluster, nats
CACHE_DRIVER=redis # memory, redis, redis-cluster, none
QUEUE_DRIVER=redis # memory, redis, redis-cluster, sqs, none
```
### Performance Tuning
```bash
# Connection limits
SOCKUDO_DEFAULT_APP_MAX_CONNECTIONS=100000
SOCKUDO_DEFAULT_APP_MAX_CLIENT_EVENTS_PER_SECOND=10000
# Cleanup performance (for handling mass disconnects)
CLEANUP_QUEUE_BUFFER_SIZE=50000
CLEANUP_BATCH_SIZE=25
CLEANUP_WORKER_THREADS=auto
# CPU scaling
ADAPTER_BUFFER_MULTIPLIER_PER_CPU=128
```
## Deployment Scenarios
| **Development** | 1vCPU/1GB | local | memory | memory | 1K |
| **Small Production** | 2vCPU/2GB | redis | redis | redis | 10K |
| **High Traffic** | 4vCPU/4GB+ | redis | redis | redis | 50K+ |
| **Multi-Region** | 8vCPU/8GB+ | redis-cluster | redis-cluster | redis-cluster | 100K+ |
