This is the final part of my series on how we built pusher-js 2.0, don’t forget to read part 1 and part 2 too. One of the trickiest parts of rolling out a library is figuring out how it behaves in production scenarios. You can spend months designing and writing tests, but nothing beats releasing
In the previous blog post, I explained some of the design decisions made while we were working on the connection strategy for our new JavaScript client library. This part will get more technical and focus more on implementation details – we’ll discuss how strategies are represented and evaluated internally. Transports Currently, Pusher offers WebSocket, Flash
Last month we released pusher-js 2.0 which represents a few months worth of development effort. So, we wanted to share some details about the work involved and the changes included in this latest release. As the release announcement states, our main goal with pusher-js 2.0 was to improve the connectivity, so in this blog post
Pusher is a very flexible pubsub system that allows you to build all sorts of applications. However, as we start seeing the kinds of things people are building, we start hearing about optimizations that we can make to make your lives easier. One of the ones we have heard frequently is the need to publish

The conference was aimed at everyone from devs to creatives to entrepeneurs, and attracts a forward-thinking crowd to debate the latest technologies, trends and thinking on web and mobile applications.

We’re always on the lookout for cool and innovative ways of using Pusher so when Klaus Hartl of Tweek told us about how they’d been using Pusher we thought “that’s cool! Let’s put that in a blog post”. What was the problem you were trying to solve? In the past I had been using Livereload
With webhooks, Pusher can repost interesting events that occur in your app to a URL of your choice. We’ve built a demo, Filtrand, to show you how it works. If you go to the Filtrand home page and enter a subject you are interested in, you will see a stream of tweets that mention this
With the arrival of WebSockets we finally have a standardised technology for true realtime bi-directional communication between a server and a web browser (or any other client). When we were creating our What are WebSockets? page we decided to write up a history of the technologies that came before and that are in some cases
It’s great when our users get in touch to tell us how they’ve been using Pusher, especially when it’s original and creative.
