4. Realtime & deploy

Broadcast domain events to the browser and prepare for production.

WebSocket broadcasting

Since v0.13.0, Tyravel ships a native WebSocket hub (@tyravel/broadcasting-websocket) — no Socket.io or Pusher.

Follow the full Broadcasting & realtime guide for config, channel auth, Echo client setup, and nginx proxy notes.

Quick checklist:

Scaffold with Redis: tyravel new my-app --redis
Set BROADCAST_CONNECTION=websocket in .env
Register WebSocketBroadcastServiceProvider in src/main.ts
Define channels in routes/channels.ts (private channel prefixes ship in current scaffolds since v0.16)

examples/hello-world does not include broadcasting yet — use a --redis scaffold or the realtime Echo recipe for a minimal client.

Task	Command / config
Route cache	`tyravel route:cache`
View compile cache	`tyravel view:cache` + `config/views.ts` `compiled: true`
Env validation	Per-file `schema` in `config/*.ts`
Queue worker	`tyravel queue:work` under a process supervisor
Graceful shutdown	`SIGTERM` handling is built into `serve()`

Tyravel runs on any Node 26+ host (container, VM, bare metal). Standard Web APIs mean adapters stay thin — see serve() in @tyravel/core.

Guide	When to use
Deployment overview	Shared checklist, env vars, process model
Docker	Self-hosted, compose stacks, any orchestrator
Fly.io	Managed Postgres + Redis at the edge
Railway	Fast managed deploy with Postgres plugins

Minimum production boot:

bash

export NODE_ENV=production TYRAVEL_HOST=0.0.0.0 TYRAVEL_PORT=${PORT:-3000}
tyravel migrate && tyravel route:cache && tyravel view:cache
tyravel start

Run tyravel queue:work in a separate process when using the database queue.
