Neffos is a cross-platform real-time framework with expressive, elegant API written in Go. Neffos takes the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in real-time backend and frontend applications such as:
- Scale-out using redis or nats*
- Adaptive request upgradation and server dialing
- Acknowledgements
- Namespaces
- Rooms
- Broadcast
- Event-Driven architecture
- Request-Response architecture
- Error Awareness
- Asynchronous Broadcast
- Timeouts
- Encoding
- Reconnection
- Modern neffos API client for Browsers, Nodejs* and Go
