Hello World! Today I’m here for a very special release, Busy.Go, the smallest event bus implementation in Go.
In basic terms, what busy.go does is start an HTTP server that will listen to two things:Clients who connect via WebSockets and subscribe to realtime updates about the messages they select.
Publishers (servers) who send HTTP requests that are authorized to publish messages to subscibed clients.
Simply put, if you have thousands of clients waiting for realtime updates in a game tournament, you can use busy.go to deliever the result of said tournament to all of the interested clients.
In a more traditional approach, you could use it to notify all waiters in a restaurant once the customer makes a reservation, arrives or leaves. And once a waiter claims the job, notify all others that the job is claimed and they don’t need to do anything.
Anyways, because it is written in Go, it will surely be fast and reliable. I hope you will find a way to use this and remember to keep on coding, experimenting and tinkering!
