Question

Chats

Hello. Tell me who worked with what technologies, what is better to use Pusher or Socket.io?
The chat is planned to exchange messages, images, files, group chat

Doing real-time chat on Laravel on the backend is a strange idea. I would advise to abandon Laravel and use NodeJS+Socket.io.

Laravel Echo Server

Laravel Websockets
