If you’ve been in the Node.js ecosystem for a while, you know the ws library is the bedrock of real-time apps. But as we move further into a multi-runtime world—juggling Node, Bun, Deno, and Cloudflare Workers—the "old way" is starting to show its age. I just came across @rabbx/ws , and it feels like the upgrade we've been waiting for. Here is why it’s making waves: 🚀 Zero Copy, Zero Deps: It’s a tiny 9KB (compared to 80KB+ for traditional setups). No native dependencies means no "node-gyp" headaches and lightning-fast installs. 🌍 True Cross-Platform: It runs the exact same code on Node, Bun, Deno, and the browser. It uses native hooks (like Bun.serve.websocket) where available to squeeze out maximum performance. 📈 Massive Scalability: Benchmarks show it handling 180k concurrent connections on Node with 2.6x less memory than the standard ws library.
