Joe Dixon :: Real-Time Laravel
summary
Realtime Laravel demo shows a runnable websocket server called Reverb that starts with php artisan reverb:start, is written in PHP on reactphp's event loop, and implements the Pusher channels protocol so existing Echo broadcasting works unchanged. It demos three concrete features working end to end: realtime messages (removes an HTTP hop by firing Reverb's message received event), typing via whisper, and presence channels with join/hear/leaving. Reverb is stress tested, supports horizontal scaling, multitenancy, and Forge/Envoy integration with realtime pulse metrics.
