[Article] SockJS: PubSubHuddle presentation

PubSubHuddle SockJS presentation

I was asked to do a short presentation during the PubSubHuddle meetup. The talk was about current development of WebSockets, its issues and building web applications using them.


In the presentation I present the evolution of simple shared-nothing architecture and I try to explain why, in order to use web messaging, the website architecture should be truly asynchronous on every stage.

All that is an attempt to express a rationale for the SockJS project. Actually, the full story behind SockJS is much deeper, but probably nobody cares about every detail, I am guessing.

The presentation is available here:

• PubSubHuddle - Realtime Web PDF (5MiB) (Scribd)

The slides are rather terse, in order to understand them you may want to listen to the talk:

• Skills Matter recording
