Real-time features are no longer a “nice to have.” Dashboards, notifications, live metrics, and collaborative tools are now expected behaviors in modern applications.

As Laravel developers, we’re in a great position: the ecosystem offers first-class support for WebSockets through Laravel Echo and Reverb. Still, many tutorials stop at theory or overused chat examples.

In this Laravel WebSockets tutorial, I want to share a practical, production-adjacent example: a real-time dashboard that updates totals instantly, without polling, using Echo and Reverb.

Ressonance is now open source, and that changes everything. In this post, we share why we chose transparency over black boxes, how building in public shapes every technical decision we make, and what this means for developers building real-time applications with Laravel and WebSockets. From the hidden complexity of scaling real-time infrastructure to the concrete benefits of open source trust and collaboration, this article explains the philosophy behind Ressonance and invites you to experience it yourself through our free tier.
