Overview
soketi is a TypeScript WebSocket server for applications that use the Pusher Protocol v7. It provides a self-hosted endpoint for real-time event delivery, so teams can keep using compatible client libraries while managing the server and its infrastructure themselves.
It can run as a single instance for development or scale across instances with Redis. It is a fit when Pusher-compatible integration and control over deployment matter; teams wanting a fully managed service may prefer a hosted alternative.
Key Features
- Implements Pusher Protocol v7 for compatibility with existing Pusher-based projects.
- Uses uWebSockets.js as its underlying WebSocket server.
- Supports app-based access with credentials and configurable app data storage.
- Provides storage options including static arrays, DynamoDB, and SQL-based servers such as Postgres.
- Supports scaling with Redis.
- Exposes Prometheus metrics for deployment monitoring.
- Can be deployed in containers or alongside monolithic applications.
Use Cases
- Application developers can replace or supplement a Pusher endpoint while making minimal client changes, updating the host, port, and credentials.
- Teams can run a local real-time server for development, testing, or benchmarks without depending on a hosted Pusher service.
- Operators can self-host event delivery for production applications and scale out with Redis as usage grows.
- Platform teams can monitor a deployment by scraping its Prometheus metrics.

Getting Started
See the official installation documentation for setup options, then follow the configuration guide. The README links to the full documentation.
Alternatives
- autobahn-python: Autobahn|Python provides WebSocket and WAMP messaging libraries rather than a turnkey server compatible with Pusher clients.
Considerations
- Self-hosting means you are responsible for deployment, configuration, scaling, and monitoring.
- The README says maintenance time is limited and that updates and support have at times been infrequent.
- The AGPL-3.0 license should be reviewed against your distribution and deployment requirements.
- The README describes scaling with Redis, but does not include detailed resource requirements or deployment instructions here.
