Ask emqx in game

Closed this issue · 3 comments

I'm a game developer, and emqx has the following application in my architecture :

  • Chat
  • Internal messaging middleware
  • Push notification

In this project, what are the advantages of using emqx as a gateway compared to the client directly connecting to the gateway service?

the client directly connecting to the gateway service?

@jostar-y which gateway service do you mean?

jostar-y commented

I built my own gateway service. The gateway is a unified entry for external clients. It is responsible for client connection and data parse and forwarding between the client and server.

Well, here EMQX is the gateway service. It does a lot of heavy lifting so that I don't have to.

In addition to what you have mentioned about gateway service functionality, it also handles authentication and authorization, and can support different transport protocols and a lot of concurrent clients out of the box.
