Too few sampled comments (16) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Pusher's blog for technical posts on real-time systems, such as WebSocket fallback protocols, Go garbage collection latency, and tutorials for integrating Pusher with frameworks like Angular.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 16 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
Is it okay to rely solely on websockets these days? I was always impressed by pusher.com's commitment to a variety of fallback protocols (and there are three blog posts about it, see https://blog.pusher.com/how-we-built-pusher20-part-1/ )

HN discussionThen you should be happy that Go has been putting a lot of effort into making its GC as non-blocking as possible. There was an interesting blog post from Pusher yesterday ( https://blog.pusher.com/golangs-real-time-gc-in-theory-and-p... ) about how they had to learn how the GC works and how to make the most of it; the links give more information into golang's internal evolution.

HN discussionHere's one comparison with G1: https://blog.pusher.com/golangs-real-time-gc-in-theory-and-p... where G1 still had some reasonably large pauses FWIW. Which is surprising isn't its billing to not do that? But FWIW.

HN discussionI see a lot of feedback about how difficult it is to use websockets or add real-time features to an Django app. I work at Pusher ( http://pusher.com ) and this is exactly what we do. We make it dead simple for any developers to use websockets and handle the scaling and maintenance for them. We even have custom libraries for Django such as Django-pusherable https://github.com/pusher/django-pusherable Associated blog…
