Is there a modern open-source solution for bridging a traditional stateless web application to real-time notifications - one that's implemented all the best practices from the OP? Something like pusher.com but on self-hosted infrastructure/k8s, where messages from clients are turned into webhooks to an arbitrary server, and the server can HTTP POST to a public/private channel that clients can subscribe to if they know the channel secret. I've come across https://github.com/soketi/soketi https://github.com/soketi/soketi and https://centrifugal.dev/ https://centrifugal.dev/ but not sure if there are more battle-tested solutions.

Another one to check out https://partykit.io https://partykit.io They are building on top of Cloudflare, and getting started is a breeze. That being said they are also fairly new, but based on everything I have seen, I am a fan

There's also Pushpin, if you want the API to blend with your existing app. Disclosure: Pushpin lead dev.

I maintain the Mercure protocol (built on SSE) and the reference implementation (written in Go, available as a standalone binary and a Caddy module) which does exactly that: https://mercure.rocks https://mercure.rocks In addition to the free and open source server, we also provide a cloud offering and on-premises versions that support clustering using Redis Streams, Kafka, Pulsar or Postgres LISTEN/NOTIFY as backends. The solution is used by many big actors in production for years: How Raven Controls uses Mercure to power big events such as Cop 21 and Euro 2020: https://api-platform.com/con/2022/conferences/real-time-and-beyond-with-mercure/ https://api-platform.com/con/2022/conferences/real-time-and-...

NATS is another similar, very simple and powerful, option - particularly with their nats.ws library. https://nats.io/ https://nats.io/
