Take the Web beyond
the Browser and the Cloud.

Write Once,
Run Anywhere

Ship apps faster than anyone else using one skill set, and one codebase. You can even turn your existing web app into a native Socket app.

Connect Everyone

Our modern P2P protocol makes it possible for users anywhere in the world to communicate directly, in real-time or asynchronously — to distribute work beyond the data-center and into your apps, reducing Cloud cost and server workloads.

  import { network } from 'socket:network'

  const socket = await network()
  const cats = await socket.subcluster()

  cats.emit('mew', value)

  cats.on('mew', value => {
    // ...
  })

  cats.on('#connection', cat => {
    cat.emit('meow', value)

    cat.on('meow', value => {
      // ...
    })
  })
