Who is using uWebSockets.js? #765
-
|
Do you have a list of companies who are using this project in production and possibly small description for what it is being used? We are using uWebSockets.js (communication platform) for api and websockets server in prelease, but unfortunatelly cannot figure out whether it is battle tested or not. Moreover it has only one contributor, why is that if it's the fastest server for node?? It will be super helpful. Thanks in advance! |

One I know for sure is bitfinex.com but I don't keep track of (or can keep track of) all companies and I'm not even legally allowed to disclose it unless they want to |

Can you share the numbers then without brand names? |

I don't track users so there is no way to tell. I know about 10 companies who use it but it can be hundreds. |

Are there any usecases in public facing apis or just internal? |

Well, yes. They are public. All trading on bitfinex goes via it. |

Interesting question, for a number of different reasons. I don't know. |

What I'm saying is I don't care about quantity I care about quality. |

imo more quantity, event on amateur level, equals more quality. Same goes for the number of great commercial success stories, since people behind those project are people too. They check how many people are using stuff and make decisions based on that. What's your take on that? |

It becomes a catch 22 because if you intend to satisfy everyone you cannot diverge from the interfaces most assume (such as ReadableStream, IncomingMessage, EventEmitter) so to fix that you need to do what everyone else is doing but then you end up with the same crap you aimed to improve and now we are in an endless loop. Therefore I don't target everyone I target those who need something specially tailored for their particular use case. |

There are tons of small quirks here, which allow better performance but also brings, well, small quirks. And those quirks stand out as annoyances for most nodejs people |
