Hey there. The main difference is that Fanout is invisible to clients. You explicitly choose the data transports and formats. This makes it well-suited for fronting public APIs, since you're in control of the interface. Our codebase is also open source. This article goes into good detail about the reference implementation for our HTTP transport: http://blog.fanout.io/2013/04/09/an-http-reverse-proxy-for-realtime/ http://blog.fanout.io/2013/04/09/an-http-reverse-proxy-for-r... Although it could be made more apparent, we have Python and Node libraries in our GitHub: https://github.com/fanout/ https://github.com/fanout/ Also RealCrowd developed a .NET library: https://github.com/realcrowd/grip.net https://github.com/realcrowd/grip.net
