Ohai, I'm pleased to announce the release of Primus. Primus is a server and client abstraction on top of real-time servers/transports such as Socket.IO, SockJS, Engine.IO etc. It allows you to easily switch between servers with changing just one single line of code. There is no need to completely rewrite your applications when your not satisfied with the underlaying real-time server or when it completely breaks down when you're hit by HackerNews or are getting Techcrunched. (trust me, this happens to people a lot).
Some highlights: - Supports 5 different real-time servers out of the box: Socket.IO, Engine.IO, SockJS, Browserchannel and pure WebSockets. - It has a stream compatible interface for the the client and the server. - Supports randomised exponential back-off to prevent DDOS'ing your server when you restart. - Comes with a client API that works on Node.js as well on the client. - It fixes bugs in the above mentioned servers. - Comes with the ability to also change the message encoders and decoders on the fly. If JSON encoding is to heavy for you could switch to msgpack, bison or maybe JSONH. It doesn't matter if your building a real-time server, or implementing a module that uses real-time. Primus is here to save the day ;). As for the future of the project. I'll be adding additional fixes to Primus to prevent some of the real-time bugs that i've been talking about at conferences: https://speakerdeck.com/3rdeden . Making Primus not just wrapper around this frameworks but also better than these libraries them selfs. The project is available on Github: https://github.com/3rd-Eden/primus And a small announcement post: https://medium.com/the-build/22af5c94a922 So tell me what you think about it, love to hear the input of the community.
