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, SSE/EventSource, GRPC, SockJS, WebTransport). Centrifugo has the concept of channel subscriptions – 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.

Why Centrifugo
The core idea of Centrifugo is simple – it's a PUB/SUB server on top of modern real-time transports:
The hard part is to make this concept production-ready, efficient, flexible and available from different application environments. Centrifugo is a mature solution that already helped many projects with adding real-time features and scale towards many concurrent connections. Centrifugo provides a set of features not available in other open-source solutions in the area:
- Real-time transports: WebSocket, HTTP-streaming, Server-Sent Events (SSE), GRPC, SockJS, WebTransport
- Built-in scalability to many machines with Redis, KeyDB, Nats, Tarantool
- Simple HTTP and GRPC server API to communicate with Centrifugo from the app backend
- Flexible connection authentication mechanisms: JWT and proxy-like
- Channel subscription multiplexing over a single connection
- Different types of subscriptions: client-side and server-side
- Various channel permission strategies, channel namespace concept
- Hot message history in channels, with automatic message recovery upon reconnect
- Online channel presence information, with join/leave notifications
- A way to send RPC calls to the backend over the real-time connection
- Strict and effective client protocol wrapped by several official SDKs
- JSON and binary Protobuf message transfer, with optimized serialization
- Beautiful embedded admin web UI
