PartyKit
Turn everything into a realtime multiplayer app
PartyKit is an open-source deployment platform that lets developers add real-time, multiplayer functionality to web applications with minimal code. It handles WebSocket infrastructure, edge scaling, and operational complexity so developers can focus on building collaborative experiences. It integrates with popular frameworks like Y.js, Automerge, tldraw, and works alongside existing hosting providers.
Developers install the PartyKit npm package, write server logic in JavaScript, and deploy it to the edge with a CLI command, with PartyKit handling WebSocket connections, scaling, and routing automatically.
