PartyKit announces the release of Party.IO, a new backend solution for real-time web applications leveraging Socket.IO.
Party.IO is designed to reduce the complexity of deploying and scaling Socket.IO by utilizing Cloudflare's global edge network, offering automatic scaling and low latency.
Developers can quickly create a Socket.IO backend by adding simple code to a new PartyKit project and deploy it globally in minutes.
