https://ably.com/platform When Tim Berners-Lee outlined the first “web” of hypertext documents so he could more easily get, share and communicate whilst working at CERN in the late 1980s, it’s unlikely even he could have imagined the impact this would have on all our lives. Tim Berners-Lee’s initial creations led to the establishment of HTML, URI and HTTP, the three most fundamental building blocks of the internet.

For WebSockets to work, and for every user to see one another, they must be connected to the same WebSocket server.

There is no denying that WebSockets are a critical component of the real-time web, but organizations must carefully consider their implementations.

Ultimately, delivering real-time capabilities using WebSockets requires additional architectural and engineering complexity, especially when done at scale.
