Poxa: A Pusher clone with a real-time Console

• sjtgraham 12y ago
  There a few (including this) OSS Pusher clones available if you prefer other languages: Ruby - Slanger* (https://github.com/stevegraham/slanger https://github.com/stevegraham/slanger) Java/Play - PushPlay (https://github.com/danbeaulieu/PushPlay https://github.com/danbeaulieu/PushPlay) *Disclosure: I am one of the authors of Slanger.

  Great to see this. Being able to run your own Pusher-compatible server sounds quite useful for dev environments or internal usage. Is Poxa endorsed by Pusher at all? FWIW, our company, Fanout (https://fanout.io https://fanout.io), is similar to Pusher except we decided to open source our own code to be good citizens. No need for the community to reverse engineer anything. ;)

    Yeah they "endorse" if you consider they published a link to Poxa here: http://blog.pusher.com/pusher-community-libraries-highlights/ http://blog.pusher.com/pusher-community-libraries-highlights... Thanks for pointing out Fanout. Looks like a nice product/project.

      Props to them for blogging about their open-source competitors.

    Why couldn't this be used for production usage? Especially for applications where loss of real time isn't a big deal ?

      Since there are already a bunch of open source "push" servers (Socket.io, Faye, Firehose, etc), I assumed the main draw of Poxa would be to use as a substitution for the official Pusher cloud service depending on deployment scenarios. Of course, someone could certainly use Poxa without any intention of ever using Pusher.com. The protocol features & client libraries are very nice.

        This looks like its easier to setup right?
