akshayrajpon Millions of active WebSockets with Node.js

I am currently looking for ways to build a service that can handle around 100k-200k active concurrent websocket connections on production. It's wild seeing this article here. Does anyone know of any alternative ways to do this? Most people seem to suggest using Elixir but I wonder if I can achieve the same using a more "conventional" language such as Java or Golang.

This article covers Node.js for me, I guess.

akshayrajpon How to Start Your Blog in 2023

Exactly my problem. With what you've described, I think Astro + some headless CMS would be the way to go here. I say Astro because having JS is a nice thing and it will let you do things that would require more effort with Jekyll/Hugo. (since you say want to integrate with your existing hobby e-com website)

Plus, it has the added benefit of keeping your front-end skills upto date.
