Ask HN: WebSockets as a Service?

1 points by yashg 4y ago ↗ HN

I have implemented a few projects using websockets for variety of purposes. I have implemented them in .Net and NodeJS (server side). I was wondering if there's any SAAS provider offering websockets as service so one doesn't have to run a websockets server and can just implement a client. Is there something available or is there a need for such a service?
