README

The BlazeCast plugin provides a self-hosted WebSocket server for CakePHP applications using the Pusher protocol, enabling real-time bidirectional communication between your server and connected clients.

BlazeCast enables real-time communication between your CakePHP application and connected clients through WebSocket connections. The plugin supports public channels for open communication, private channels for authenticated users, and presence channels for tracking active users in real-time.

The plugin implements the Pusher protocol, making it compatible with Pusher JavaScript libraries and other Pusher-compatible clients. It includes a built-in WebSocket server, channel authorization system, Redis PubSub for horizontal scaling, rate limiting, and comprehensive logging capabilities.

The plugin integrates seamlessly with CakePHP's event system and provides command line tools for running the WebSocket server and managing connections.
