Kinto – open-source alternative to Firebase and Parse

Does anybody know about databases that talk WebSockets rather than HTTP? For frontend apps it seems more logical to use WebSockets. Dealing with AJAX and understanding how to manage all of that on the client is still a huge dilemma in the React/Flux/Angular community.

There's https://github.com/nolanlawson/socket-pouch. It's Node + LevelDB and optionally offline-first.

Hi, at zetapush (http://zetapush.com), we provide a realtime BaaS with database, file storage, search engine, ... everything with a websocket connection. You can use our javascript SDK to connect to our clusters.

Firebase's JavaScript SDK uses WebSockets when available and falls back to HTTPS when unavailable.
