Realtime — websockets, etc

partykit

PartyKit simplifies developing multiplayer applications.

PartyKit will handle operational complexity and real-time infrastructure scaling.

Each PartyKit server (also known as a Party), is backed by a Cloudflare Durable Object.

you can also connect to a Party using standard WebSockets, enabling real-time push between client and the party instance (also known as “room”)

Parties are so lightweight that we can spin them up with practically zero start-up time. In this regard, they are similar to a serverless function.

partykit — Persisting state into storage

Persisting data to disk is optional as PartyKit servers also allow you to keep in-memory state. It is, however, necessary, when you want the stored data to persist between server restarts.

Server restarts happen when:

• You re-deploy the party using partykit deploy.
• Having opted into Hibernation, the server is currently not processing messages.
• There’s an unexpected error in the PartyKit runtime (for example, a hardware fault).
• The server reaches its maximum lifetime.
