Hope you like these updates, feel free to reach us anytime with suggestions and feedback.

We have added the following features/changes this week:

- Host yourself feature:

You can now host PieSocket at your own cloud with eligible plans and take control of your data.

 

- Custom server locations:

Need a cluster near to your users for improved latency? Now that is possible with PieSocket.

 

- API based Clusters:
Now each of your API keys will have unique cluster ids, we did this improve performance and to seprate point of failures for PieSocket channels. 

We recently launched PieSocket Console and it has been a long since we updated the changelog.  Following are two minor changes we made with rate limit and cmd_ messages or command messages.

- From now on, response for the cmd_ command messages will only be sent to the original sender of the message. Earlier it was sent to all the connected clients.

- We have implemented a rate limit of 10 requests/second /IP address, for WebSocket connections.


Cheers!

On popular demand, we have changed the allowed number of characters in the channel_id parameter of the WebSocket server API.

Updated doc: https://www.piesocket.com/docs/3.0/overview

Now:

- Channel ID can contain characters [a-z], [A-Z], [0-9] 
- Channel ID can contain special characters _ (underscore) and - (hyphen).

Thanks,
PieSocket Team
