I've just started learning the Tailwind Alpine Livewire Laravel (TALL) stack to build my next SaaS, CareNote. I've also been playing around with Meilisearch and Soketi, which are really cool tech.

Hello there, just want to ask if there is any difference between current websocket and soketi? I'm new in this area would like some clarification if possible. Thanks!!

soketi is a websocket server just like pusher. soketi.app is a drop-in replacement for pusher. pusher costs $49/month vs a digital ocean droplet for $5, which is plenty fast to soketi.

Is it the same as socket.io/ ?

Yes, socket.io is built on top of the websocket protocols. soketi.app is a self-hosted, open-source websockets server.
