Netty-socketio Overview

This project is an open-source Java implementation of Socket.IO server. Based on Netty server framework.

Licensed under the Apache License 2.0.

Features

  • 1.x - 4.x version of Socket.IO-client is supported
  • Supports xhr-polling transport
  • Supports websocket transport
  • Supports namespaces and rooms
  • Supports ack (acknowledgment of received data)
  • Supports SSL
  • Supports client store (Memory, Redisson, Hazelcast)
  • Supports distributed broadcast across netty-socketio nodes (Redisson, Hazelcast)
  • Supports OSGi
  • Supports Spring
  • Contains Java module info for JPMS.
  • Lock-free and thread-safe implementation
  • Declarative handler configuration via annotations

JAR is compatible with Java 8 but needs Java 11+ for building the module-info.

Performance

Customer feedback in 2012:
CentOS, 1 CPU, 4GB RAM runned on VM: CPU 10%, Memory 15%
6000 xhr-long polling sessions or 15000 websockets sessions
4000 messages per second

Customer feedback in 2014:
"To stress test the solution we run 30 000 simultaneous websocket clients and managed to peak at total of about 140 000 messages per second with less than 1 second average delay." (c) Viktor Endersz - Kambi Sports Solutions
