interesting, when you say websocket support on aws, does this mean ws using lambda? and ws on nextjs (would be a game changer if someone made this happen)

Yes it’s ws using lambda, the worker-starter example shows how it works

Also abstracts away the idea of an eventbus which is pretty critical in any Websocket deployment.

It doesn’t use Websocket directly via Vercel, but would work if you use nextjs by providing it a http server and also providing that server to ws

Can get this to work, but I’m pretty curious why you think this is a game changer? Thanks!

Nice. I’m going to look into this more. We currently run a dedicated server next to our vercel apps just for ws support. Adds considerable overhead.

Maybe game changer is an exaggeration but In the vercel community, ws has been a top requested feature for years. See comments on https://x.com/rauchg/status/1872729115595587627

I raised an issue here https://github.com/vramework/vramework/issues/119, feel free to add any info that can help.

Note to self: need to signup to X!

If deploying off of vercel is acceptable, it can be done pretty nicely via serverless-nextjs or nextjs docker in one server. But from what I understand vercel internally does quite a bit of code analysis to split things and I don't really want to get too deep into the weeds in that direction

Thank you for raising!

Also curious how you would want Websocket servers to talk to each other (to broadcast messages). Would you be okay having a pub sub layer like redis that nestjs servers run on?

Also is running on vercel a requirement?

Looks great, will have a look at it.

Thank you!

vramework looks really well thought out. Is it in use by anyone yet?

Heya!

It’s used in three companies so far, but the new productised (via the cli) version is still in development / qa stages

There is one company that has been using it for over four years tho! Just checked in and seems to be working solid

The difference between the two versions is that we now have a cli, whereas before you needed to call scripts to do the same things
