Centrifugo is an open-source scalable real-time messaging server. Centrifugo can instantly deliver messages to application online users connected over supported transports (WebSocket, HTTP-streaming, Server-Sent Events (SSE/EventSource), GRPC, WebTransport). Centrifugo has the concept of a channel – so it's a user-facing PUB/SUB server.

Centrifugo is language-agnostic and can be used to build chat apps, live comments, multiplayer games, real-time data visualizations, collaborative tools, etc. in combination with any backend. It is well suited for modern architectures and allows decoupling the business logic from the real-time transport layer.

Several official client SDKs for browser and mobile development wrap the bidirectional protocol. In addition, Centrifugo supports a unidirectional approach for simple use cases with no SDK dependency.

For details, go to the Centrifugo documentation site.

What's changed

Improvements

  • Support Prometheus native histograms, see #1136.
  • Kafka consumer: don't re-init the client on retriable fetch errors, see #1137.

Fixes

  • Add missing envconfig tags to NATS JetStream consumer config so its fields can be configured via environment variables, see #1117 by @thuy-le-kafi. Applied the same fix to the Redis Streams and Azure Service Bus consumer configs, which had the same gap.
  • Fix a bunch of flaky integration tests.
