Hi everyone!<p>I&#x27;d like to share that we&#x27;ve just released Centrifugo v6 - a major update of scalable WebSocket server. The release addresses some usability pain points and adds nice features and more observability.<p>Centrifugo is an open-source standalone server written in Go – <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;centrifugal&#x2F;centrifugo">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;centrifugal&#x2F;centrifugo</a>. Centrifugo can instantly deliver messages to application online users connected over supported transports (WebSocket, HTTP-streaming, Server-Sent Events (EventSource), GRPC, WebTransport). Centrifugo has the concept of a channel – so it&#x27;s a user-facing PUB&#x2F;SUB server. Everything implemented in a language-agnostic way – so Centrifugo can be used in combination with any frontend or backend stack.<p>These days we also provide Centrifugo PRO version – and trying to find a balance to be sustainable.<p>The server is based on the open-source Centrifuge library - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;centrifugal&#x2F;centrifuge">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;centrifugal&#x2F;centrifuge</a>, so many improvements mentioned in Centrifugo v6 release blog post (even those for Centrifugo PRO) may be used just as a library in Go application.<p>We provide real-time SDKs for popular client environments – for browser and mobile development – they connect to both Centrifuge library based servers and Centrifugo server.<p>Generally Centrifugal ecosystem provides a good alternative to Socket.IO and cloud services like Pusher.com and Ably.com<p>Will be happy to answer on any questions
