It does seem to be the most commonly used WebSocket polyfill around. We also use web-socket-js [1] for fallback. But Version 3.0 of pusher-js [2] will remove that. One negative with SockJS has been the complexity of the fallback approach on

SockJS is definitely a reasonable choice as a base. At Pusher we use a fork of SockJS for HTTP fallback but we actually use em-websocket [1] (ruby) for our WebSocket API. Given the opportunity we'd probably move away from SockJS to som

This is definitely correct. The article focuses more on data synchronisation where as a lot of services (some of which jkarneges has highlighted) don't offer data storage and focus on letting you define your own feeds/channels&#x2

We started doing this around 3 years ago. It's likely we'll change our default coding style from Node.js style to ES6 and our front-end components to Web Components - browser support pending. However, Web Components won't rem

yeah, we have focused on building dashboard like solutions. However, we're undergoing a number of mobile projects right now and we're hoping that part of open sourcing will result in trying to build other types of apps. Hopefully

It has come out of enterprise focused development - there's no getting away from that. And we have enterprise customers that the toolkit has to support. However, enterprise is in a state of convergence right now. Those that would not p

It's mainly a re-write of the older toolkit. Open sourcing has many benefits. As lead of the open sourcing initiative (not lead-dev) it's been an opportunity to re-evaluate what we're doing and a way to identify things that m

You could look at it that way. But I'd like it to align much more with Web Components and a defined architecture for inter-component (Blade) and service (shared resource e.g. back-end) communication. I think this comment best describes

Right now we use KnockoutJS in the Blade templates. the `data-bind=` syntax is from that. There's not reason you can't use another front-end UI binding library with a syntax that you prefer. This response provides more about why t

It was initially called "BladeRunner" and one of the main reasons we decided to rename it "BladeRunnerJS" was for Google. As with other JS-based solutions adding "JS" to the end clarifies it's for building

The thing that interests me most about this is the potential for changing configuration on-the-fly to deal internal or external network conditions, or simply from additional information extracted from the metrics. I don't know of any other

We've kept the FlashSocket option in there, as it ultimately means the user gets the benefit of a WebSocket connection without native WebSocket support; a single bidirectional connection resulting in the lowest latency possible. Our HTTP fa

When it comes to nginx and apache you can always go down the hosted realtime infrastructure route. That way you can use WebSockets in your client (app) but you don't need to worry about installing mods or handling the persistent connections

Some expect Chrome for Android to become the default browser ( http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/02/chrome-android/ ) and if that happens the WebSockets will be supported. Firefox for Android also supports WebSockets. I can't 100% confirm

From my experience, working at Pusher and dealing with support for the past year, WebSockets do work over a mobile 3G connection when you use an SSL (wss://) connection. I tether (laptop -> mobile -> mobile data) quite a bit whilst
