​Azure Web PubSub is a fully managed service that enables developers to build real-time web applications using WebSockets and the publish-subscribe pattern. It supports native and serverless WebSockets, allowing for scalable, bi-directional communication without the need to manage infrastructure. This service is ideal for applications such as chat rooms, live broadcasting, and IoT dashboards. ​Supports real-time publish-subscribe messaging for web application development through native and serverless WebSocket support. Built-in support for large-scale client connections and highly available architectures, enabling applications to handle numerous simultaneous users. Offers support for a wide variety of client SDKs and programming languages, facilitating seamless integration into existing applications. Provides built-in security features, including Azure Active Directory integration and private endpoints, to help protect data and manage access.

Amazon API Gateway
Amazon API Gateway
Amazon API Gateway is a fully managed service that makes it easy for developers to create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale. APIs act as the "front door" for applications to access data, business logic, or functionality from your backend services. Using API Gateway, you can create RESTful APIs and WebSocket APIs that enable real-time two-way communication applications. API Gateway supports containerized and serverless workloads, as well as web applications. API Gateway handles all the tasks involved in accepting and processing up to hundreds of thousands of concurrent API calls, including traffic management, CORS support, authorization and access control, throttling, monitoring, and API version management. API Gateway has no minimum fees or startup costs. You pay for the API calls you receive and the amount of data transferred out and, with the API Gateway tiered pricing model, you can reduce your cost as your API usage scales.

Socket.IO
Socket.IO
In most cases, the connection will be established with WebSocket, providing a low-overhead communication channel between the server and the client. Rest assured! In case the WebSocket connection is not possible, it will fall back to HTTP long-polling. And if the connection is lost, the client will automatically try to reconnect. Scale to multiple servers and send events to all connected clients with ease. Socket.IO is a library that enables low-latency, bidirectional and event-based communication between a client and a server. It is built on top of the WebSocket protocol and provides additional guarantees like a fallback to HTTP long-polling or automatic reconnection. WebSocket is a communication protocol that provides a full-duplex and low-latency channel between the server and the browser. There are several Socket.IO server implementations available. And client implementations in most major languages.

Azure Service Bus
Azure Service Bus
Depend on Service Bus when you need highly reliable cloud messaging service between applications and services even when they’re offline. Available in every Azure region, this fully managed service eliminates the burdens of server management and licensing. Get more flexibility when brokering messaging between client and server with asynchronous operations along with structured first-in, first-out (FIFO) messaging and publish/subscribe capabilities. Leverage the power of asynchronous messaging patterns to reliably scale your enterprise applications. Integrate cloud resources such as Azure SQL Database, Azure Storage, and Web Apps with Service Bus messaging to get smooth operation under variable loads and the durability to survive intermittent failures. Improve availability by building messaging topologies with complex routing. Use Service Bus to deliver messages to multiple subscribers and fan out message delivery at scale to downstream systems.
