Real-time Laravel Development

Production-ready WebSocket infrastructure with Laravel Reverb, Pusher, or Echo Server
Chat, notifications, collaborative editing, and live updates via broadcasting
Real-time dashboards and live feeds with automatic data synchronisation
Secure channels with Laravel authentication and role-based access control
Horizontal scaling with Redis pub/sub and connection pooling
Multi-channel notifications: push, SMS, email, and in-app alerts
Laravel Reverb emerged in 2024 as the first-party WebSocket solution, delivering 40% lower latency than Pusher whilst eliminating monthly service fees. Self-hosted Reverb gives complete control over infrastructure and scaling strategies, supporting 10,000+ concurrent connections on properly configured servers. For teams preferring managed services, Pusher and Ably provide battle-tested infrastructure with global edge networks. All three solutions use the Pusher protocol, ensuring compatibility with Laravel Echo and making it straightforward to switch between providers as requirements evolve.

Our Real-time Development Approach

Event-Driven Architecture with Laravel Broadcasting

Technology Selection

We choose the right WebSocket infrastructure for your needs: Laravel Reverb for self-hosted control, Pusher for managed simplicity, or custom Laravel Echo Server for maximum flexibility. Each choice is driven by your scaling requirements, budget, and infrastructure preferences.

Event Architecture & Integration

Clean event-driven design using Laravel events and broadcasting. Events are decoupled from business logic, making your codebase testable and maintainable. Laravel Echo integration with React, Vue, or vanilla JavaScript provides automatic reconnection handling, presence tracking, and typed event contracts. Private channels for user-specific data, presence channels for collaborative features, and public channels for broadcasts.

Performance Optimisation

Redis for pub/sub and connection state, queue workers for asynchronous processing, and connection pooling for efficiency. Message throttling, selective broadcasting, and delta updates to minimise bandwidth whilst maintaining responsiveness.

Why Real-time Matters

Business Impact of Instant Updates

Enhanced Collaboration

Improved engagement
Real-time collaboration features transform user experience. Simultaneous editing, live cursors, instant chat, and presence awareness create engaging, modern applications.

Instant Updates

Sub-second latency
Users see changes immediately without refreshing. Live dashboards, real-time analytics, and instant notifications keep everyone synchronised and informed.

Live Monitoring

High availability
Real-time system health, user activity, and business metrics. Instant alerts for critical events, anomalies, or thresholds being exceeded.

Reduced Load

80% fewer requests
Eliminate inefficient polling. WebSockets push data only when it changes, dramatically reducing server load, database queries, and bandwidth consumption.
