This looks very nice, it could very well be a game-changer.

Question: how do you achieve real-time. Long polling? Web sockets? Sente?

And, how many users can your system support at the moment?

Thanks! Very interested in the architecture, keep up the good work.

Hi @sova ! Thanks for the feedback. Our system can support 100K useres/sphere. We achieve the real-time through websocket (socket.io)

Nice. Please take a look at https://github.com/uNetworking/uWebSockets

There is a drop-in line that can make your socket.io a lot faster, if that's your jam.
