Show HN: Fastly Pub/Sub

2 pointsby jkarneges3 months ago
Hi HN!<p>Fastly Pub&#x2F;Sub makes it easy to send messages in real-time to browsers and other devices, using SSE or MQTT. It is built on top of Fanout, our global connection management &amp; message routing infrastructure, which means it works at mega scale across all of Fastly&#x27;s 100+ regions (POPs). We hope folks find it to be a compelling alternative to other &quot;real-time pub&#x2F;sub&quot; SaaS offerings.<p>Also, we are shipping this product in a novel way: as an open source app for Fastly Compute. You can run it on Fastly as-is or fork it if you&#x27;d like. It runs serverlessly and there is nothing to manage. It&#x27;s free to try since all the components it depends on have free tiers&#x2F;trials, and the app itself has no cost of its own. The costs of using it are simply the costs of Compute &amp; dependencies.<p>There&#x27;s a demo here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pubsub-test.glitch.me&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pubsub-test.glitch.me&#x2F;</a><p>With the demo you can play around with sending messages between browser windows and with curl.<p>Announcement &amp; setup guide here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dev.to&#x2F;fastly&#x2F;announcing-the-pubsub-compute-app-35ki" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dev.to&#x2F;fastly&#x2F;announcing-the-pubsub-compute-app-35ki</a><p>Let us know what you think!
