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.

exit1.dev
exit1.dev is real-time uptime monitoring for websites, APIs, and infrastructure, built around a live dashboard. Probe results stream from our regional servers straight into your browser over WebSockets, so the chart and raw probe table update the moment each check finishes, with per stage timing for DNS, connect, TLS, and first byte. No refresh, no polling.
Checks run from multiple regions across HTTP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, WebSocket, DNS, and heartbeat monitors. It also tracks SSL certificate and domain expiry, validates response bodies with status codes, JSONPath, and text, and alerts through email, SMS, Slack, Discord, Teams, or webhooks.
exit1.dev ships an MCP server too, so AI assistants can create and query your monitors directly. You also get public status pages, status badges, and a REST API. The free plan includes 10 monitors with no credit card.
