Launched emitter.dev: Easily connect WebSockets with your Lambda / Serverless
- sshamoon 6y agoI'm super pumped. I just launched https://www.emitter.dev https://www.emitter.dev, which lets you connect your WebSockets to your cloud functions: Lambdas, Serverless, Google cloud functions, Azure functions and more. I'd love feedback on the landing page, the service or anything else that you'd like to chat about =)
- geoburke 6y agoThink I heard of this. You guys are in S2020 YC batch right? If this was around in 2019, we’d have built the Portal crypto wallet fully serverless.
- sshamoon 6y agoNope - no incubator currently. Maybe in the next batch.
- jkarneges 6y agoCongrats on the launch! I work on possibly similar tooling. The Emitter website is light on details. Is it for receiving connections or making them?
- sshamoon 6y agoReceiving socket events and then POSTing to your endpoint.
- sshamoon 6y agoWhat use cases are you imagining?
- jkarneges 6y agoHandling of connections in either direction. Our company built a service that is able to receive WebSocket connections and send the activity to a HTTP backend. So this use case I'm familiar with and it sounds like you're doing something similar. A service that could make outbound WebSocket connections on behalf of a FaaS app is something I think about too. I'm not sure if that exists yet.
- sshamoon 6y agoI have that case covered as well. When I post to your backend, whatever you respond with, I send back to the socket for you.
- sshamoon 6y agoWhat you guys are doing with fan out is pretty great - definitely some similarities. Love your work.
