RIVER

At its heart, River is a Node.js process running a WebSocket server. That's it! While a single process on a local machine can provide all the functionality and features of River, we had something else in mind. We built River to be resilient and ready to scale... River is a drop-in real-time service for web applications. It provides an easy-to-deploy and ready-to-scale solution for existing applications with real-time needs... At this point River has all the functionality that we have discussed so far, and can actually be the separate real-time service that we have been describing.
