Key features include: WebSocket Support, Live Updates, Presence Detection, Collaborative Editing. CreateOS templates provide these out of the box so you can start building immediately.
Templates offer Socket.io for full-featured WebSockets, Pusher/Ably for managed services, or Server-Sent Events for simpler one-way updates. Choose based on your scale and complexity needs.
For horizontal scaling, templates use Redis pub/sub to sync WebSocket servers. All connected clients receive updates regardless of which server they're connected to.
