Horizontal scaling is certainly a challenge. With traditional load balancers, you don't control which instance your clients get routed to, so you end up needing to use message brokers or stateful routing to ensure message broadcasts work correctly with multiple websocket server instances.

Hi I'm the author of this blog post and the CTO of Hathora. Happy to answer any questions about how we built our Stateful Router for WebSockets and other persistent connections!

WebSockets is built on top of TCP, whereas WebTransport is built on top of UDP. This makes WebTransport better suited for handling latency-sensitive applications like multiplayer games.

Does anyone know of any websites/applications that utilize WebTransport? The only thing I've come across are the Showcase demos from https://github.com/yomorun/presencejs

Hi HN, I wrote this article because I didn't find much on the internet comparing network performance between cloud providers. I was surprised to see the amount of separation between the top performers and the bottom ones.
We published our benchmarking script on Github[0], I'd love to see results from other geographies and perhaps even other providers like Linode and Hetzner!
