I'm super pumped. I just launched https://www.emitter.dev, which lets you connect your WebSockets to your cloud functions:

Lambdas, Serverless, Google cloud functions, Azure functions and more. I'd love feedback on the landing page, the service or anything else that you'd like to chat about =)

Think I heard of this. You guys are in S2020 YC batch right?

If this was around in 2019, we’d have built the Portal crypto wallet fully serverless.

Nope - no incubator currently. Maybe in the next batch.

Congrats on the launch!

I work on possibly similar tooling.

The Emitter website is light on details. Is it for receiving connections or making them?

What you guys are doing with fan out is pretty great - definitely some similarities. Love your work.

Receiving socket events and then POSTing to your endpoint.

What use cases are you imagining?

Handling of connections in either direction.

Our company built a service that is able to receive WebSocket connections and send the activity to a HTTP backend. So this use case I'm familiar with and it sounds like you're doing something similar.

A service that could make outbound WebSocket connections on behalf of a FaaS app is something I think about too. I'm not sure if that exists yet.
